Default MAF location

Just looking for input on the location of my MAF. Do you think this is a good place for it?

If not any suggestions on where to move it to. Just want to make sure its not too close to any bends or anything.

That MAF location may give you some inaccurate readings. Ideally you want the MAF is a section of straight pipe so that the air is stabilized. With your two pipes merging together then hitting the MAF then 90 into the intake this may give you some tuning issues.

The best place for a MAF in a twin build is on the shelf next to your used oil.

Other than that, what Pat said ^^^^^^

Ditch the maf and go speed density.

The only place it would work for me is pre-turbo, but you have to move your IAT sensor.

So how do you account for the air lost through the blow off valve? I would bet your transitional fueling is all over the place.
