I relocated!!!!!

So say i wanted to relocate the MAF with my HiBoost pipes. What would I need to do in order to make everything work without running into issues like stuff not fitting right etc. ???

i have the hiboost kit and i dont think i have enough room between the TB and the bov. Some of the kits have the BOV mounted too close to the TB.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this... But your BOV may be too close to your MAF... Maybe why it hesitates more...

yeah, it is recommended that you move/put your bov on the hotpipe

naw... just a little farther from the MAF then where it is should be fine... that way the air isn't being sucked out through the MAF still.

I am looking for anyone with the DSM hard pipes, what reducer did you use? Thanks-Scott.

Actually, you say that air gets recirculated or blown off whether you have a bov or bpv before it reaches the throttle body. It doesn't. The air that's recirc'd or blown off is air that has hit the TB when it shut and flows back. The reason why there's hesistation/stumbling is because of the turbulence caused by this that affects the next 'batch' of air that was read by the MAF as it hits the air exiting. Something like that. At least that's what makes sense to me.

Sorry, man. I have to disagree with you there. The BOV opens when the manifold pressure sensor reads a vacuum in the IM. That just happens to be when the TB closes, but the BOV is not opened by the TB closing. So most of the air that is vented is additional pressure being sent by the turbo (air that the MAF reads but never makes it to the engine).

Hey. No need to apologize. I usually just make up s*** based on logic and hope that other people buy it and hope that it makes me look smart. I thought this was the general theme of the forums. I guess it's bad practice. Thanks for correcting me though.

so do you think it would make a big deal if I inserted an extra maf in the original maf spot to fill that space? it wouldn't be hooked up obviously, just a direct size replacement for the functioning maf i am moving to cold pipe. I dont think the turbulance created would effect it later down since it is before the turbo, no?

and are there any other opinions to removing the mesh insert from the maf right before the TB?
