god mine is just soo ghetto rigged lookin IMO people say it looks clean but idk

 

Sometimes I forget that there are a multitude of differences between the TC and XB, despite sharing the same engine. My oem MAF tube is 2.75" ID but apparently yours is not. Using a 2.67" ID MAF tube I get a P0101 that won't go away but apparently your ECU isn't as picky about it since you've obviously reduced your MAF tube ID by more than I did by adding aluminum pipe inside it. Not to mention the turbulence induced if your al pipe isn't one piece with just a small hole for the MAF.

Anyway, I'm glad you were so lucky with your MAF setup.

 

no no i didnt reduce the size of the tube i cut out 2 small aluminum tubes into half an inch wide and stuck it on the ends of the maf tube just so it give me enough lips to clamp it without breaking plastic... and we use the same maf tube i guess i took wrong measurements

 

Whatever works = win

Using the MAF tube from the airbox was a very good idea. I have some ideas about why my intake setup is causing the P0101 but if I can't fix it by other means, I may cut the MAF tube off my airbox or get one of these:

hey cburg can you post up some close ups of this? I cant see it in your turbo kit thread!

 

I'd like to see some pics of this as well. I wanted to move to a blow-thru a while ago but I was told I would need to re-configure the MAF (or something like that).

 

hold your horses i have a check engine , ill scan tomorrow nothing major tho cuz no limp mode

 

P0101, 0102 or 0103?

 

P0101 FINALLY! hahahahaha, yea it was from bracing the maf holder with aluminum....i fixed it tho

 

I TOLD YA SO!!! LOL... glad you got it fixed. It doesn't take much to throw a P0101.

 

indeed santa needs to buy me a scangauge....so when stuff like this pops up i can see it and not panic rushing to the closets advanced auto....

 

Indeed. OBD2 scan tools are incredibly useful tools. Besides reading and clearing codes I monitor and record a lot of stuff not available through the FIC logging.

 

yea ima go with the ELM327 that we discussed previously. it seems to be the best nag for your buck, did u have any installations issues or is it just pretty much plug n play and install cd

 

Very much PnP, although not as simple to use as a scangauge. Scangauge is a nice all-in-one solution but if you already have a portable PC, an ELM327 based OBD2 to USB2 interface lets you do much more. The much larger screen lets you see more data at once, there are more parameter IDs (PIDs) available and data logging is only limited by your HDD capacity.

The hardest thing I encountered with the installation was having to input the ELM's assigned com port into the OBD app and that's not hard at all. Just look in device manager under "ports" and find the com port # assigned to "USB serial port" and enter it into your OBD app. Better apps find it automatically but some of the free apps require you to enter it manually.

 

so, just so i'll understand, what is your current inner diamater of the pipe that the MAF sits in is what size?

 

Im glad you decided to switch to the blown-thru set up!!!! I knew you would like it. It made me so happy when I switched...My car ran like poop before I switched - Good luck!

 

no one ever listens to me!

 

NM it was someone else I suggested it to - LOL - but congrats any ways~
