Yea the maf is behind the intake and i used the stock intake pipe and my version of an short ram intake. It seems to pull a bit harder but the biggest difference is how smooth it is through boost now. thanx for the comment on the install i try to keep everything looking professional i don't like half ass jobs.

Looks clean. Makes my engine bay look kinda fugly.
It's that damn heatshield!

shiny!
how does the Greddy RS sound in that setup? more air woosh or more whistle?

!00% woosh no whistle at all, i still get a little compressor surge at low rpm when i am not in boost, but any sort of boost and the bov takes care of it....

That's tight, infact......it's........diabolical

Clean engine.

The polished heatshield is a must and the pipes look nice like everyone else said.

blow thru maf = badass. it feels so much nicer with the relocated massair. i wouldn't go back. the only problem is that there is more of a chance to jack up the sensor.

I kind of question that becuase i would think it would be the same force on the boost side as it would be on the intake side but instead of being sucked in it is being pushed. But we will see how long it lasts.
