Default Re-position MAF?

Always looking for a way to 'hide' stuff and recently turned my MAF 90deg so that the plug is underneath so the terminal/plug, etc is not easily from above....any side effects? Flow direction is still the same of course, never saw it done or wondered why someone hasn't. Any taker's?

I too would like to do this. I don't see how it's any different unless the sensors are gravitationally sensitive.

I don't see a problem.
As long as the flow direction is the same, it would seem fine to me.
If the flow is reversed, it will richen the A/F mix some. As a side note, this is good for cars with lean conditions or high KR.
Good luck
Dave
