there's a few ways. use a chisel to drive a flat in it and use a standard screw driver. u can smack an easy out into the center hole, or drive a t15 torx bit into the center hole. if all else fails bust the top off it and remove the rest with a vice grips once the afc is off.

You could also use a dremel to cut a slot in it - then use a flathead.

Replace it with an allen head socket screw.

Dont move that plate until your pyro is in and working.

good idea doc.. but i don't have a dremmel any more. broke that a week after i bough it.. oops..
i'll see if my neighbor has one. i think he has one of those air powered dremmel rigs.

pyro's in. just gotta figure where to plug the power in and she's good to go.
my buddy said i can hook it in the fuse box??? i dunno. i'm gonna con him in to "showing me" where it goes lol.

got it ALL DONE!

#10 Plate installed after sitting around for 6 months.
all gauges up and going.


i left the plate in stock location. gained a little power no big deal. i'm boosting about 20 psi now MAX.

i got that nub off with a coal chisel.
i hit the edge of the counter clockwise
little by little and it came fairly easy.
after it was off i cut a grove in the middle like a screw and moved it to an other spot for easy access.
i would have put an other bolt in but i didn't have one that fit.


Thanks for all the help guys!!!
