BOV and MAF placement
When running both a BOV and a MAF sensor, whats a "minimum" distance to look for between the TB and MAF sensor, and between the MAF and BOV? I noticed my KB cold pipes have the MAF about 6" from the BOV. Seems awfully close but I could be wrong.
And what about the distance between the TB and the BOV? Is closer better?

I don't think it matters where the BOV is as long as its relatively close. I would think that 6" is plenty far enough from the BOV for the MAF. Are you getting a weird reading from the MAF?

Distance between the maf and tb doesn't matter too much just make sure the MAF has a couple inches of straight pipe before and after so it doesn't pick up turbulance. And as for the bov same thing don't put it right before the MAF give it a little spacing but anywhere between the MAF and intercooler is fine. Kyle knows his stuff so where ever he has your stuff situated will be fine. Here's a pic of my old setup. I had my MAF about a foot away from the tb and had my bov right after the intercooler behind the grille...
