Default TURBO GUYS

Hey i was wondering how all of you turbo guys have your MAF sensors hooked up.

im building a custom twin turbo setup for my truck and i was wondering if your sensors are before or after the turbos.
thanks

You want the turbo to blow through the MAF and the TB. Also have the IAT before the MAF. This allows the computer to accurately send the right amount of fuel and timing. Also have the BOV before the MAF so it doesn't get a false reading.

it's all in tuning.. both have pro's/cons.. the blow through setup has the possibility of maxing out the maf (while there are tricks around it) and the draw through would be trouble w/ 2 turbo's. good luck with it, sounds like a cool project

i was gonna use the original airbox and leave it in the stock location for now, then just split the pipes after. but i want to run intercoolers and that wont really work when i do that.

i need to research it and figure it out i guess
