New idea for a new setup

Has anyone put the MAF before the Throttle body? If so could I get some pictures?

Someone wants to run BOVs. :) And aren't our MAFs already before our TB, wouldn't you want it after?

Well I was going to change my whole setup around to a 2 into 1 Designed FMIC with a SSQV welded right to the outlet pipe on the IC. Then see if it were possible to remove the MAF sensor from the housing and make a Custom Housing in the Outlet pipe. Just an idea but its worth the shot.....

What? I run dual MAFs; galled them to my downpipes.

Yeah he was asking a question of moving the MAF, and I was stating it already was before, in this case wouldn't he be wanting the MAF after to make a change.

I don't understand what I have to think about...

I think hes wondering, as am I, where you would suggest he put a MAF sensor after a TB.. sandwiched between it and the intake manifold? or as I suggested, in the downpipes? I think the idea would be to run the MAF downstream of the "BOVs", but still before the TB? But theres not a whole lot of room to do that I guess, It would go right where the TBB is, and that intersection of the 2 charge pipes would probably not yeild accurate results from the sensor.

this thread confuses me

the maf is before the tb right now. what you are looking for is a blow-thru maf and i dont know if they make them for our car. you could probably make one yourself, but i dont know where you would go to get it tuned.

Our cars use pull through mafs, so putting it anywhere in the charge pipes would cause major problems. You could, as said above, retrofit a blow through maf on it but then youd have to do some major software changes for it to run right. If i were going to do changes like that i would just swap it over to speed density and call it a day. Ive never really been a fan of mafs to begin with, so id love to see a map conversion.
