ill take a pic once it's finally mounted..but i decided just ffor ease of use just to mount it on the metal vacuum line that runs from the BOV to the intake manifold. fits right there. esp since the damn forge MBC is pretty big. but im going to get a "screw clamp?" not sure what it's called...one of those metal clamps that you use to tighten up the rubber hose and upper icp.

Sirloin, my noob of noobs, you're giving me heartburn here. I said NOT to unplug the battery UNLESS you found the cause of the CEL. You were supposed to find the plug that was disconnected or any other possible problem first...not just go unplug the battery to get rid of the CEL.

I fear that you are either only reading half of what I say or are just ignoring half of what I say. The CEL and SRS lights don't just randomly come on for no reason. You had to have done something to cause this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my MBC maybe 10 times, and only twice has the CEL light came on - both times it was the MAF plug. The reason I'm saying this is I don't want you to think that just because you disconnected some stuff it made this light come on. If you didn't turn the car back on until it was all re-connected, then the light would never have come on.

Anyway, yeah, set it to where it spikes at 22 for only a millisecond, then holds at 20-21 the rest of the way.

YES sirloin has been dubbed noob of all noobs haha..

oh well...the fact of the matter is. i got it done and the car pulls harder than ever. especially uptop. makes me a very happy evo owner. not sure why the CEL went on but i do know that i plugged everything back in. im actually feeling quite confident right now. ill prolly come back in a couple days for an update so you guys know if it was done just right!

I'm sorry I missed this saga of trouble, but let me know if anyone has any questions about the Unos.

I know it's a little late, but we will be including some generic instructions with each unit now.

Let me know if there are any other questions or issues.

Your CEL came on most likely because you disconnected the MAF harness. Just a possibility.
