if ur maf sensor is on the intake pipe you are going to have to recirculate the bov back into the intake. you will run into a lot of idle problems and car running too rich if u leave it like that.

best bet is to reroute the maf after the bov and b4 the throttle body.

looks good still needs some touch ups tho and the kit will look good


specs on turbo? manifold? etc

just connect the turbo drain back to the oil pan its in the shop now to get the clutch pressure(spec stage 3+) plate and fly wheel(exedy aluminum racing) installed then connect the rest of the piping for the inter-cooler remount the maf sensor then after the clutch gets installed its going straight to the exhaust shop to get a 3" Mandrell bent down pipe then tune and shes running

The stock MAP cannot see boost. BUT the stock MAF can. Also replace the stock MAP with the 2bar GM late model one. (It can be found by getting the map sensor for the cobalt at a parts store, its actually the cobalt barometric pressure sensor but it is mislabeled in ever parts stock computer system). The maf can be run pre-turbo but you must run a recirculating bov OR you will have rich spikes every time it blows off, no idle issues though (unless the bov leaks).

I wish i had taken pictures of my Vulcan manifold i just pulled off my car. EVERY weld CRACKED. I just dropped it off at the welder with my junk head. Ive been chasing phantom exhaust leaks for a year, the cracks are now bad enough that you can easily see daylight through them. Be warned. Otherthan that its been a good manifold.

If i were you i would run your maf like 12-18" from the TB if you are going for a VTA blow off, I ran mine in the stock location since we used my cold air intake for that section of charge pipe. Its worked great.

If you have the maf on the intake pipe you will blow off metered air which will cause the issues mentioned above
