As everyone knows the stock MAF makes it impossible to have 2 air filters that each go to a turbo because all the incoming air has to go through it. I'm quite keen to get all the tubing done before I get an ECU, but then the intake would have to be redone to get the 2 air filters, each hooked up straight to a turbo.
I don't want to have that small tube coming from the MAF to the front turbo at all because it is just so small.
Then an idea suddenly occured to me, why does the MAF need to be just after the air filter? Why couldn't it be after the intercooler, just before the throttle body?
This way the MAF is in a straight piece of pipe that can easily be ripped out when I change ECU's, and the turbos don't have any restriction on their intake side. The MAF is also closer to the throttle body which should mean that the air it is sensing is not delayed at all, whereas I would imagine that in the standard setup there is a bit of a delay from when the air is measured in the MAF to when it actually enters the throttle body.
Thoughts? Would the MAF be screwed up by the heated air coming in to it after the intercooler? That is the only problem I can think of.
