Default 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?

Nothing's installed yet, just trying to avoid issues when everything does go on.

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...
