<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DrivingTibNaked @ Dec 14 2006, 09:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm just wondering, you read the unpressurized airflow instead of the actual airflow. I've seen that done a bunch of times before. Dosn't that make for a very rich startup and inaccurate air flow?</div>
The maf sensor operates by heating an element up and measuring the voltage needed to keep it heated, the more air that goes through the maf, the more the air tries to cool down the element, unpressurized air will cool the element less since there are less molecules to absorb the heat, pressurized air will cool it faster for the opposite reason, and the IAT compensates for ambient temperature, the ecu uses the MAF voltage and IAT voltage to calculate how much mass of air is entering the engine.
So it doesnt matter what side of the turbo its on.

what he said^^^ lol.. my startups and idle is about 15:1-15.5:1.. putting the MAF after the turbo can cause problems with the MAF, its not meant to have pressurized hot air going through it, and this way, it only has ambient air going through it. i dont rely on the MAF during boost anyway.
i will boost, as soon as i fix these leaks, and my exhaust is really loud right now for some reason, so i wanna fix that first so i can listen for more important sounds.
i have a lil write up included in my for sale section for my parts.. the shifter bushings are really nice, and the feel of just going through the gears without the car started is 100X different.
mwood, ill def. take you for a spin. let me know how everything goes with your kid.
demon, i will get out there as soon as i figure out these stupid lil nuisance leaks, and your gonna be helping me tomm. so HA. lol
alex, im me asap, and ill send you those pics of the radiator..
