I know there is a few of yea out there, can you post pics of where you have you Mass Air Low Sensor at.
is it before or after your blowoff on your charge pipe? or is it on the intake pipe?

You can do either. Draw through (through the turbo intake) is only if you're going to be recirculating the bov back into the intake piping. The more accurate approach is blow through (after the compressor housing at the charge piping) and more specififcally after the BOV. If you do it before the bov you're just dumping metered air and you'll run a little rich between shifts/gears.

MK, Your MAF is in the intake of the turbo, correct? You have the recirculating BOV also, i am wanting to use an atmospheric BOV and am not sure where the best place to locate the MAF in my system is, i am doing a custom setup by the way!

Okay im running a PIT BOV, so i am assuming its not the recirculating BOV
but still now i am confused.
the colr side of the charge pipe is on the drivers side of the car, and i really dont want to cut my harness to wirethe sensor in way over there...
any ideas?
and if you locate the MAF on the intake pipe do you have to use a recirculating BOV?

i did the same for my setup, and it reaches all the way to the stock LSJ intake, in the fender well. Its tight tho, but i doubt you will need t route yours that far

The bov can be on the cold side, in fact that's where it probably should go. It's all preference at this point. More than one way to skin a cat. I would personally do blow through, bov after IC and then MAF right before the TB.

my setup is ran from the intake throttle body down to intercooler and between them two I have my blow off valve

Then other side of intercooler to the turbo.

My maf is on the intake pipe going to the inlet side of the turbo. Is this correct?

That's all fine, just remember that if you're using a atmospheric bov that you'll be dumping air that's already been registered by the maf. In other words, you'll be telling the computer to shoot fuel when there's no air to combust it. You'll be running rich every time the bov actuates.

Now, if you're recirculating the air back into the intake pipe, you have nothing to worry about.

Some can't be recirculated, like mine that has an airhorn style outlet. But, most just have a nipple that blow out the air that you can attach a hose to run it to the intake. You might have to drill into the intake pipe and tap it with a brass fitting though.
