Hey guys I am looking at buying a 2010 mega with the G56. It currently has the H&S mini maxx and the screen is dead according to the current owner. I have heard of no cheap way to fix this.

I am looking to make 60-90 more hp-ish and monitor gauges in the simplest way possible. I do not want 500 wires under the hood like all of my previous trucks. The truck is deleted, has a dual disk organic valair, the cat filter system, other than that its stock.

I do not want to tap the pump or anything. Obviously I need an EGT probe and the associated wiring. If I get the Edge Evolution cs or CTS2 with egt probe will I have sufficient data monitoring and decent lower horsepower programming?

Everyone recommends efi live but that is overkill for me and pricey. I would also like to monitor fuel pressure so I suppose I will have to incorporate that as well.

How is safe reliable tuning overkill for your engine.
Purchase a single EFI tow tune and Edge CTS2 from Anarchy. Then you know what ya got.

...the cat filter system... I would also like to monitor fuel pressure so I suppose I will have to incorporate that as well.
Are you referring to the BMP Cat filter conversion for the front filter bowl? There's a spot for a pressure gauge on there so that shouldn't be an issue with the edge if you use the EAS expandible system

Isn't it 1200 for a single tune and edge monitor?

Im not sure I am thinking I would like to measure as close to the CP3 as possible. The system is mounted underneath in the middle of the truck. Its a two filter system like most.

A single tune without an autocal is $400. Do you have any shops in your area that could tune your truck with their v2?

So you have a lift pump and not the cat filter conversion. This is the regular single cat filter conversion. Factory Cat filter conversion. Only spot to measure pressure then is at the lift pump if you don't want to start hacking up your fuel line.

That's going to be about right!!! Edge CTS2 will be $400 Plus expandable probe with EG temp. Plus a single tune EFI live. then monitor your fuel pressure on the CTS with a Big line kit from GDP. The days of a $500 box tunes are over unless you can find a used mini max!!

He's got a lift pump which is going to be a line from the pump right to the CP3. Big line kit would not be compatible.

Heck, I paid $1200 for my 1st original Mini when they were the best thing since sliced bread and threats of no more. I bought a hienz 57 Bootlegged
one that was sold as a Mini Max from Draconian Diesel/Dave Mathews for $1600 as a spare. It had BullyDog lettering rubbed off on it. Will never give that man business again. Only thing I can thank that man for is I got to try Anarchy. Better tuning better everything from Anarchy.

Damn, that story sounds familiar. Paid $1750 from Draconian for my Mini Maxx back in 2014. Same route to MCC by Anarchy too

I forgot about that cat kit. Too many kits haha. When OP said 2 filters I figured lift pump. I have a cat filter on my Fass, there is the cat filter for the front mounted bowl, and there is the kit in the above post

The kit is not a lift pump it looks like the one pictured with two filters. Im guessing the lift pump is factory which will need to be addressed at some point. I do not have any experince with EFI live. Ive used a SMARTY SO6 on my 2005, an edge juice with attitude on my 2000, and a quadzilla adrenaline on my 2000. I need to do alot of research on EFI live as it seems immensely complicated. I dont want to spend 3 or 400 to get the H&S fixed when Im sure its a 5 minute fix and zero dollars to do.

While I am at it. Since this truck has this nice cat filtration system on it there is no point in going full size FASS. I have heard crappy things about the Raptor pumps. Is there a good direct bolt up pump to replace my lift pump that is reliable?

O complications with EFI. Actually simpler than a Mini. You have no choices to make or improper settings to choose that will take out your HG, just install/download to your ECM VIA your OBD2 port. Hook up your CTS2 and drive on.

I have to research it. Someone has to write me a tune and I buy a module to adjust the setting based off the tune they build? The module comes with the tune they build?

Call Anarchy or E-Mail their business, don't PM from here. Purchase a single tow tune. Keep it simple. They will provide you with what you need and communicate how simple it is to use it. Right now if I was you and you purchase this truck you could be at risk of not knowing if your mini is even communicating with your ECM. And if not knowing it's last setting on it and its at default timing and your mini reverts to stock power/fueling through a few key cycles, you could risk taking out your head gasket. That's going to be a few more $ and nothing to show for it.
Trying to help.

There's the Fleece in-tank lift pump if you want a better direct bolt in lift pump. I would personally stay with the stock pump considering you are well within the stock pump capacity at that power level. Put that cash into the CTS2

Ok guys thanks for the info I got a PM from a little birdy that starts with AN and ends with Y so I will follow up with them. The Mini maxx was returned to stock so its a paperweight now.
