There was a video way back when where it showed an ST on the dyno. In the video it showed when the ags opened. It wasn't until almost at the end. Talk about heat soaking the intercooler.

Does the AGS control the left and right side grills separately? I was experiencing rapid overheating on a track day yesterday, like less than 5 minutes and the temps where rising to the "H" on the dummy gauge and the ECU pulling timing/boost. When I pulled it in, the left side AGS was open, but the right side was closed. When I turned on the AC, the right side still remained closed.

I didn't plug in the accessport to pull codes yet, but I've been thinking about it and hope it's the AGS.

No. There is a crossbar though on it to control both sides equally. You'll want to check yours is connected correctly and hasn't snapped off.

@Bugasu@Stratified Thanks for the info! I'm glad that this is the case, because having half of the radiator covered is a definite attributing factor to my overheating (duh). I'll rip that cr@p out this weekend!

grille shutters are for warming, cooling, and MPG. When sales people are doing their certifications on STARS, grille shutters are pushed as a way to improve fuel economy over its competitors.

I took mine out because i don't like plastic, and i wanted my intercooler to show... i am unaware of any gains or losses, but it sure looks sexy without it.
