Default BOV, MAF and TB placement?

Where should all these go in relation to one another. Assuming its BOV, then MAF then TB. Is there a certain distance these should be placed away from each other. Also where should the IAT sensor be placed?

I think your order is correct and you want the IAT sensor right before the TB.

I have a silicone elbow going from my TB to the MAF, then the IAT sensor is going in the tubing that feeds the MAF approx 6" down the line.

I was gonna put my BOV in the same pipe, but after reading a recent thread about BOV placement I decided to put it after the turbo before the intercooler. Dunno if you caught that thread but you may wanna check it out, it offers many pros and cons for before/after FMIC BOV placement.

I read the thread, but Im to the point in my build where that would be a ton of work to place it before the IC. You say you have a silicon elbow from the TB to MAF, does it have a 3.5" and 4" ends or did you just stretch/clamp down on end?

Yep, it's a 4" to 3.5" 90* silicone bending reducer. Got it from that website that sells "silicone" parts for "intakes"
