MAF question

casper lightning · 05-19-2008, 10:18 PM

I have Jeff McCool's turbo set up from the 01 Lightning he sold. It is a air to air setup. The MAF is mounted between the turbo and the filter. BOV is before the TB, and connects between the turbo and the MAF. The reason I ask is I have notice some of you guys have moved your MAF right before the TB. Should I do the same, or will I be ok with what I have?

yours is currently set up as a draw through, what you are refering to on other systems is a blow though setup. supposedly blow through is better for tuning and driveability.

Are you having problems with the truck dying or something? I thought the McCools has the truck running pretty well. If its not doing weird stuff or running poorly why mess with it?

I am begining the installation. Just wondering why people are changing to a blow through setup.

For Air to Air it made sense for me. I've also read that driveability is easier to attain in a blow through setup.

fabrication is easier too, since you can vent the bov to the atmosphere
