moving the MAF * LOOK *
alrite i havent been lookin on the boards too much lately... due to the fact that soon ill be driving a galant VR4 for about 5 months ( hey atleast its a TOTAL sleeper ) but i was thinking that if i moved the MAF to after the intercooler that i would still be getting the same reading to the computer and it would be less restrictive on the turbo has anyone done this? any dyno gains? anyone done this.... im bored and i wanna try something new. anywho drop me a line!!!
ps. wouldnt your turbowhine get much louder with this mod? just a thought for you if you like turbo sounds

You are not the first to come up with this. There was a very recent post by Dale on the subject. He discusses how 500 hp Japan Fc's have done this for years.

Ive heard the flapper slams open once you get boost. Its not made to withstand the heat of the air after the turbo and there is a temp sensor in the afm. I thought about doing it and decided not to.

Again, they do this in Japan on 500 hp cars. It must do something. And slamming open... just doesn't make sense....

I've seen plenty of the AFM FC's with this "mod"...they run just fine.

For the guys running 500hp on this, they're obviously not running stock ECU's so all bets are off as you could compensate for this in the ECU.

To me, this seems like a pretty hardcore mod to get the most possible power. And most hardcore guys have a standalone. And most people with standalones get rid of the afm altogether.

ive heard of the mod but have no interest in doing it. the AFM is a restriction, plain and simple. the only way to make air flow better is to remove the AFM, with a standalone. i intend to do just that.
btw-if it was done, i would imagine the turbo would make a good bit more noise. its prolly the only reason i would do such a mod.
