Hi all,

i have seen conflicting answers, so i was wondering if someone could tell me if the maf goes before or after the turbo? I saw a youtube video of it being installed and run in its normal spot (just before intake) with good results, and i saw a big turbo install writeup on here that says put the maf on the turbo inlet. any ideas?

 

On our cars, install it between the turbo and throttle body.

 

FWIW, Grand nationals have the MAF before the inlet of the turbo, after the filter of coarse. They run fast so it must be ok.

 

it depends on the maf sensor, a plastic stock thirdgen maf should not be used on the presure side of the turbo system (i.e blow threw)

they should be used on the suction side i.e turbo inlet

now if u run an ls1 or lt1 maf with a translator u can run it in either location

 

where would i snag a translator? or are there schematics available somewhere?

as i have a l98 tpi, would i use the lt1 model or get the genII or pro unit? do you have one?

 

i dont run one, i ran my stock maf on the inlet side of the turbo then i went with a standalone system that runs speed density not maf.

im sur eone of the v8 turbo guys here can shime in and tell u which on u need to get

 

anyone? is there a plug n play translator for a new maf onto an L98 tpi setup?
