    Default V6 turbo MAF sensor location

    Hi,

    I am in the process of gathering up all parts needed to turbo my vs ute and am wondering about the placement of the maf sensor.

    Should i put it on the turbo inlet or between the turbo and the throttle body ????


    Any info will be appreciated.

    I would put it as close to the TB as I could.

    you want it to measure the real airflow into the intake so before the throttle body and in preferably a straight part of tube where no turbulence would exist distorting measurements.

    this may be a stupid idea... but have you thought about reverting back to a "MAP" setup? as opposed to the "MAF" one...
