Default Custom Turbo Build

I have a 2008 silverado i want to turbo. I have a good grasp of everything I need to get to do the job, but I am confused on what to do with the MAF. What location does it go in. I am going to do a remote mount so do I try to put it before the intercooler or after. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Also any good tuners in Florida to tune after I am done.

Also, where is the best place to pick up some of the larger ticket items, turbo, injectors, waste gate, bov, scavenge pump, fuel pump. And suggestions on brand and model would be great.

the MAF goes between the intercooler and the throttle body. you could also tune it speed density using the MAP sensor and delete the MAF.

as far as the turbo, injectors, etc. shoot me a pm on your setup and what your goals are. we offer some awesome pricing on the items you are looking for. id be happy to give you a price quote!

Which would be better to use? It will be a daily driver running 6-7psi of boost.

we prefer speed density. but either one would work. i guess when it comes down to it, its your tuners preference.

I ordered a TC78 from Huron yesterday, great customer service and I am sure many others will vouch for that. Good prices too.
