i'm assuming this is the pcm. but how do i get the housing of the pcm out of the lower part?

**nemesis** · 03-18-2009

i'm not familar with the 04 pcm, but you might look for screws that's holding down the stock air box. the stock air box need to come out. the pcm should fall right out after the air box bottom screws are loosen out.

**vailskier3** · 03-18-2009

i figured it out. the air box just pulls out, and there are tabs you have to unclip to get the pcm out! now i just have to fine tune my fwi design and i'm golden!

still workin on it...

**carl06GT** · 03-19-2009

are you doing some crazy surgery or what?

**vailskier3** · 03-20-2009

well, its in, its just not exactly the way i want it yet. its hooked up, but i want to take it out and paint the pvc with heat resistant paint (like header paint or something), and i have to close off the filter to the fenderwell (there are still some openings)

**Panther427** · 03-20-2009

Take some pics so we can maybe give u sujestions

**vailskier3** · 03-20-2009

**carl06GT** · 03-20-2009

no one gunna make fun of you for your unfinished product. were all here to help man

**vailskier3** · 03-20-2009

so i've gotta give credit to street wolf, i think he was the first one to use this design, i just applied it to my 04+...here it is, keep in mind, i'm still not finished. it is a WORK IN PROGRESS. it does however sound BA.

any ideas on how to close off the fenderwell a little better? any tips are appreciated!!!

**vailskier3** · 03-20-2009

also, you can see that i have zip-tied my pcm to where the stock airbox snaps in...think it should hold? it seems to be fine for now...

**FuglyGTP** · 03-20-2009

man that looks pretty good so far. cut out a piece of metal or plastic for the gap. i know, much easier said than done

**vailskier3** · 03-20-2009

yeah, i was thinkin about getting another one of those flashings, and cutting more out of the center and get more of the outer part around it or something. idk, thats why i'm not completely finished w/ the design

**carl06GT** · 03-21-2009

pcm will be fine until you find something better or want to do something different. looks good keep going i wanna see finished product

**vailskier3** · 03-21-2009

i'm just so impressed with the sound of it. it roars at WOT.

**Panther427** · 03-24-2009

I LIKE that idea!!!!!! What is that cover from i have seen them in the hardware store just cant place it.Might be doing that tommorow Thanks for the Idea.

U could buy some of that aluminum looking tape to hide the PVC. Maybe buy a larger flasing. Also might need someway of keeping the filter center so it doesnt rub on the fender creating a hole in the filter. . Id bolt the ecm down probally so it was a little more secure. But if the zip ties hold it good enough no reason 2 i reckon

**vailskier3** · 03-24-2009

its called a roof flashing, i actually just bought a 3"-4" one, and painted the pvc with header paint, came out pretty good, i'll post pics after work...
