Not many people can give you a hard time John...as your car now is a real beast...But I love the fact that I still can

Hows the weather lookin for the race?

What are you talking about low boost... Your car is slower then a civic right now!!

Looking possible, according to weather.com it's not suppose to rain anymore through saturday. So we shall see, the question is will you be ready?

MAF should be located near where it is in a stock setup (albeit on an aftermarket intake rather then a stock box). I cant' really see it in any of the pictures posted, but there isn't a good angle. I guess the MAF sensor isn't exactly a hot picture to show off.

ahh, the reason i ask is i thought some BIG turbo kits like that one relocated the MAF to the IC pipe between the BOV and TB.

The MAF sits on the intake before the turbo, but it was moved forward into the fender, that's why you can't see it in any of the pictures...

So I am sincing that is more where he is getting the higher torque, I'd bet if you looked at his dyno chart his peak torque is probably somewhere around where I just start getting into boost
No, it's because I am 40 and age (well weight really) has allowed me to push harder on that right pedal!
