No tuning required according to the instructions if you simply set it up on stock mode.

oh, one other thing msms3, you know i need this for a cx-7 right?

Since the aftermarket boost solenoid will work on both the MS3 and MS6 (only change in instructions is mounting location), it will probably work on your CX-7, but you would want to check with the manufacturer to make sure if your "Super Glue" fix should fail.

Another option would be to compare the part numbers on your stock part with the numbers for the MS3/MS6 variations. Because the solenoid is "dumb" and relies on the ECU for its intelligence, I would think it would work. The question probably comes down to whether the wiring harness uses the same plug.

Edit: A quick "Google" search suggests that a user named "Havenmess" on another forum M C X 7 . C O M (without the spaces), may have successfully used this boost solenoid on a CX-7. See what he has to say. Good luck.

thanks again for the info msms3. i'm usually on that site as well. seems the responses are sparse, if i even get one. that's why i checked in over here. seems to be easier to get answers on here. i'll check in with havenmess before i go installing something.

Just did my Corksport SRI yesterday and broke off the TIP nipple. Managed to put it back together with plastic glue and electric tape and it's holding up quite well even with a horseshoe-shape bend in the Corksport TIP hose. I don't trust it to last forever though so I ordered a new boost control solenoid from the dealer. The part # listed on the first page is still accurate for the 2010/2011 MS3 and lists for $67. Should have mine in Wednesday as they had to order it.

If you broke it replace it... Theres no other way around it unless you can rig it back up the way it was
