If there's a demand for it, we may be able to sell our MAF flange used on our spec-ss/spec-rs turbo kit separately. Here's the MAF flange setup used in the blow-thru setup for our spec-ss turbo kit's upper intercooler piping. The MAF flange setup is a modular two piece design that allows us to use the same base flange on all our I/C piping regardless if it's for the first or second gen MAF sensor (large or small). We simply swap out the top flange to mount either of the two MAF sensors. It's sealed by a high temp o-ring. This would only be ideal for someone building their own i/c piping that would like to have it work on tC from '05-'10. Unfortunately it's going to cost quite a bit more than what's available out there as a single weld flange.

Here's a few pics.

i keep forgetting people are still doing pull through maf's. so if you had a blow through then the intercooler in fact would help.

 

Yeah, a better IC would help reduce actual IAT but I think the problem I'm having is the MAF/IAT getting heat-soaked and reading higher than actual IAT at idle and slow speeds.

 

approx how far from the bov should the maf be placed?

 

MRC - i dont think there would be enough demad for the ptuning flange. not many people consider a blow through maf set up unless they want the ptuning kit. and with the ability to get the proper flange for 15 - 30 bucks i dont see ptuning making that much money off of the offer

 

As far as possible while maintaining as much straight pipe before the MAF as possible. Ideally you also want some straight pipe after the MAF too but before it is far more important. You don't want bends or couplers too close to the metering side of the MAF.

Can you post some pics of your setup?

 

i can take a pick of the upper ic pipe tomorrow.

 

I recall Paul telling me that the MAF should be at least 6 inches away from the BOV and clear of bends near by, but at the same time as close to the throttle body for accurate readings without going against the aforementioned.
