Drivetrain Installed AGS and have problems
Well my MCS is @ Hendrick Mini to address an issue with a busted motor mount and I had them check to see why I was getting a SES and EML light, they called back to say un-metered air flow is what is causing it! They claim that the tube is probabaly not sealing off good and causing it to throw the code.

Who did the install?
I'm surprised that you tolerated your car running so badly for so long. I had my supercharger replaced by a tuner here in the UK and they left me with a nice big leak at the green supercharger seal...the car wouldn't idle properly and it drove me nuts! definitely took the shine off of an otherwise pleasant enough experience.
Once the leaks are gone, your car should run alot better that's for sure. Do you have a 'hunting' idle problem at the moment?
Cheers,
Henry

Some times the code doesnt pop up but most of the time it does, hell if it had ben running bad I would have torn it down as soon as it happened but until the tech @ Hendrick told me it was definitely a leak YESTERDAY I was unsure of why the code was being thrown, I spoke to Peter @ M7 and he says that if it had any kind of leak it would not even idle but there is no performance problems @ all, Sorry I am not the mechanic you are MSFITOY!
I'm not a mechanic...I didn't mean to insult your ability...just asking for information so that I might be able to asess the situation and maybe help as I know that this install can be a little tricky...

This might be a good reason on cars that have lots of vibration, but corrosion just doesn't seem to fit. If you can find out more of an expanation, please share! I'm always looking for new tid-bits!
