not to hijack but where are you putting them? on my old setup it was in the filter and never had anything to do with the turbo. should it go down stream of the turbo, like a stock setup, and allow the turbo to blow through it? just wondering what every body else is doing

Somewhere close to the MAF just before--entering the engine. Want to get the best reading of the air that is going to be used.
