    Question Air flow meter???

    Just hooking up all my intercooler piping, and i need to know is it better to mount the AFM Before the turbo or after the intercooler somewhere?
    I was thinking if it was before the turbo, the air metered would be changed in density by the turbo, and then again when it pass's through the intercooler, so would that equal to 2 variants from turbo to throttle body?

    Not sure, I have no BOV as it is, but i should be getting one pretty soon (and no im not running a dose pipe just straight piece to pod to reduce flutter noise as much as possible)

    as close as possible to the throttle in the cooler pipes is the best
    after the cooler - before throttle

    ive read many stories about people having it before the turbo and it would cause problems running and would stumble when taking off

    mine is under my RH rail in the cooler piping

    Yeh thats what i thought closer to the TV would be better! But then i read on some stupid forum that you cant run it after the turbo, but most VL turbo's with coolers do... Why does it stumble when its before the turbo? is it because the air isnt metered properly so the ECU puts in To much/ To little fuel?

    stock turbo vl's have them in standard spot near airbox but i have seen them all over the place.. i would suggest after the Cooler i would say around the dizzy area where the piping is sweeping in over to Throttle body..
