true mate true

did i just see the AFM on the hot side of the cooler would work better measuring the cold air on the outlet of the cooler where its denser probably. i like it though

I got mine on the cold side of the cooler

i have not had any running issues while its been there
idles fine and throttle is responsive...
that basically where the provision was for it to go in the piping i got off ebay from a fella who had it there.(still needed to modify it heaps as i have a bigger cooler than the one that came with it.)
i could when i bored move it to the cold side of the piping to see if its any better.
i backed out a plug today to see overall condition on them(new when turbo went on) and they are a bit sooty/matt black around the base of the plug and a lightish color on the earth hook.
matched it up to my spark plug diagnosis chart close as i could and saying "Can be caused by many different conditions. Carbon deposits build up when the plug fails to fire correctly and burn them off. Air/fuel mixture too rich, choke stuck on, electrical problem, extended periods of low speed driving, plug heat range too cold. All should be investigated" sourced from here Spark Plug Diagnosis 2nd one down(fouling) but not that bad that sook all over plug(base of thread on the ridge)

wasnt the nice light tanned color as i should be expecting.
was thinking maybe its the AFM measuring warmer air and then when i get to TB through cooler it would be more dense meaning a leaner mix not Rich(rich causing soot)
your thoughts??

 

[delcowizzid]

probably rich due to the air being expanded while its hot then its shrinking .as well as the length of pipe between the afm and the intake probably dont help will be a bit of turbulance there too

 

[seans VL Calais]

wouldn't think length between afm and the butterfly would make a difference as it sits even further away in the stock position but i could be wrong. get it on a dyno and check the mixture.
also having the afm on the hot side i couldnt see it making a difference either as the same thing again where it is in the stock position.

just my 2c
