the computer is in the engine bay on the right hand strut tower brace.
now go put that back in and take your car to the dealer.........then have them reflash it. most i mean most dealers CANNOT flash you car w/ just he pcm.
btw thats the body control module. the right comp is in the front pass side fender well. under and behind the headlight
*************Yea i spell liek wrong get over it*****************
** If i write in caps its cause im @ work and i can only write in caps cause the keyboard is a retarded CAPS only keyboard.**
alright, how do i go about getting the pcm out of there
i wasnt sure if he had a 2.4 or not. and i meant right side strut tower also. all i did was see the bcm and didnt even let the other pictures load up. haha
its kind of hard for me to take my car to the dealer unless i want to pay 80 bucks to get it towed. the closest dealer is in another city.
Well, pull the front bumper off, look under the fender in front of the tire. You'll see where all the wires go up into a box, there should be two bolts, one at the top and one at the bottom. Undo those and it should drop out. Then there is a bolt in the center of the two clips, undo those and the clips will come out.

well for 1 , your safe to drive to the dealer with out the reflash , just make sure your full of 91 or better , add some octane boost also
just dont put the 2bar map in untill the reflash is done
99% of the dealers do not have the special tools for programing the PCM off the car , mostly because they were to cheap to buy 1 plus , there is no way of knowing if it will work or not
i was reading the book that if you turn the car on without the reflash it will void your warrenty on the charger. And by 2bar map you mean the new map sensor they give you, becuase ive already hooked that up.
just drive to the fealer with everything hooked up and the bypass valve held open with string ar a ziptie. get your car reeflashed and cut the string/ziptie, then drive away happy.

You piad an ass load for a supercharger but you won't spend another $80 to have the car towed?

Before going to the effort of removing the PCM, at least call every dealership you intend to get to flash it for you and ask them if they can do it outside the car. As mentioned above... you may not find one that can do it.
This is where it's good to have friends at a dealer.
As mentioned, you can leave the old MAP sensor in place and just zip tie open the bypass valve and the car is perfectly safe to drive. Just don't lay into it and there's no issue at all. With that in mind... so long as your friends at the dealer don't go telling anyone it was driven instead of towed, there's no warranty issue.
yeah you guys were right i called them and they don't have the tools to do the flash outside the car. so im having it towed this afternoon.
So does anybody know why i ended up with an extra wiring?
I have no idea what that wire is. It doesn't seem familiar to me.
It came in the GM kit??
yeah it came in the kit. i went through the install step by step from the book and when it was all done i had this cable left over
