For my setup, I had to pretty much invent my own wheel. Originally it had the MAF as a draw through, but it quickly went crazy and the reading were off. Moved it to blow through and it hasnt missed a beat yet
That seals it for me then. Im going blow through. Gonna order my couplers and the rest of the piping today to set it up. Thanks again everybody!

Let us know how it works out. Draw or blow if it's not in the right spot at that right angle it will **** the whole thing up.

I talked to the tuner about how Ive read MAFs needing a strait section of pipe before and after and how to package that into my setup. He said it only affects the card style MAFs because they have no screen to smooth the airflow out. I crammed the MAF in wherever I could then. This is my setup




Old draw through setup that didnt work. Glad i didnt go this route too because the remote IAT didnt jive with me

So yours does have the screen in it I assume?

What kind of car is that anyways? Very clean set up too!

Looks like a 3rd gen F-body to me.

Pocket: that's what I'm getting at. His is the card style. So if it's in a bad place and not perfectly striaght it will not work correctly. And with the twisty tumbley air and no screen to straighten out the airflow I just don't think it would read the air correctly with blow through.

Im re-routing my piping tomorrow. I was going to come straight between the fans and put the maf in the middle of that section of piping, but the heat from the fans in traffic will heat soak the body of it. So, my plan now is to 90 straight up from the side of the driver frame rail, come over top of the radiator, and put it in the straight section before it 90's into the TB. It will put me having about 6-8 inches of straight pipe before and after the maf if i do it right. I would think that should be fine.

Yeah, give I a shot. I thought I found some where once that you could buy the Maf bolt in thing so you could weld them where you want instead of taking the airbox piece apart. I'll have to look

you can cut and move your IAT wire, we did that on Skipperdaddys TVS1900 install. i also did it on my 08...i had a old maf from my truck that would only require you to repin your MAF harness and not have to cut your box up but i cut it up trying to gut it
