Default where did you mount your MAFT?

I know most have it next to the lid. Has anyone mounted it in a different spot?

I've seen a few people like PSJ stuff it down in a corner...

I used double sided velcro and put it on the right side of the airbox...thats really the best place to have it unless you are trying to hide it...

I'm not really trying to hide it. I just don't like the way it looks with all the wires when it's mounted next to th lid

Put in a front wheel arch (drivers side) and ran the wires through conduit to the MAF connection.

That is exactly where I put mine. I also agree that the velcro mount works well for it - does on mine.

Why would you want to hide it? Because of that "off-raod use only" statement?

If I ever had to make a trip into the dealer for service I would just take it off...takes about 10 seconds... <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Default Re: where did you mount your MAFT?

the only reason why i took the sticker off of mine was because i didn' tlike the pink colors on the sticker, and the "horsepower in a box" statement was kind of dumb IMO. but oh well, and as for trying to hide it from a dealer, they know it's not stock, so the 10 minutes to remove it if THAT long is worth the time. more like 20 seconds for me. mainly hiding it for street racing purposes.

I just don't like the way it looks sitting out in the open up front. I'd rather it be out of sight. I'd take it off too if i had to go to the dealer. BTW, where is PSJ's mounted? is it down by the drivers side headlight?

OK, stupid question here.....

What is a MAFT??? I figure the MAF part is Mass Air Flow, I'm guessing the T is for Translator, because I remember hearing that somewhere before.

What is a MAFT, what does it do, how much does it cost???

Thanks guys!!!
Taco

I installed mine temporarily. I attached it to the lines coming out of the master cylinder with electrical ties. I know it sounds like a rig but I have no sheet metal to make any kind of bracket and Im not about to start drilling holes in my ride. I think I can utilize the holes where the bolt is for the ground wires on the drivers side of the lid. All I have to do is make some kind of bracket that doesnt look like a POS.
