I'm squirting
I drove over to DIYAutotune this morning. Had a coolant hard line pop loose en route, and rolled in overheating. Jerry helped me fix the hose and refill the radiator, then we got the MS going. Once we removed my ignition timing piggyback, it was as simple as plug the MS in, start the car, and adjust timing. DIYAutotune MSPNP is in and working.
Jerry did a little bit of road tuning with me. It's not perfect, but certainly drivable until we get a real tuning session in. Fingers crossed for time at the load dyno this week, so we can see results!
Observations for the day:
* The MS doesn't like a timing piggyback intercepting the CAS signal.
* The MS hooked up and ran the car immediately, just like advertised.
* Intake temps from the stock greddy aircleaner position are HOT. Let's just say I'd give y8s a run for his money on AIT.
* Launch control should be triggered by a switch, not the clutch

It wasn't a clamp that came loose.
The hard pipe that runs rearward to the heater core (marked in red) seperated from its fitting on the block (marked in blue). Is that what's called the mixing manifold? The hard pipe moved back a few MM, we just shoved it back forward so it could seat itself again. But I doubt that it's permanately secured.

Yes. A spot may have opened up that I can sneak in and use this week. It's going to be a real tuning session with a professional tuner.

No, the bracket didn't line up after going greddy. It was fine for 8K miles before today.
My fuel map is bound to be extremely different than others, as I elected the MAPDADDY 4 bar w/ baro correction sensor. The fuel maps should scale, but may not. As far as timing goes, I have Jerry's base NA map and y8s's hydra map to start from, we'll see where it goes.

yeah that's what I was thinking. I have too many other things to get done in the next few days/weeks. Something with worm clamps and safety wire is going to have to work, at least for now.
