MAF Sensor Position? (Turbo)
Has anyone tried placing the MAF in a different location with a turbo application (Greddy)?
Would this in any way make the vehicle run better?
If so how?

There are a few people that have played with a "blow through" arrangement on the MAF.
There is no reason it won't work, but the MAF is very sensitive and it will require a very carefully constructed tube, just like it does for a "draw-through" arrangement.
I don't think its worth the effort.

Actually, if you look at the limited space for a straight tube in the engine bay, then compare it to what you can get with a vertical tube to the intake manifold, you might in fact have more room to play with since the vertical tube actually extends beyond the engine bay as it goes down towards the intercooler. But I haven't measured, and my mind is known to have a distorted sense of reality sometimes

Its a family of V6 motors that Mazda put in several cars in the 90's.
In its 2.5 liter form, it was in the MX-6, 626, 929, Millennia and the Ford Probe.
It was also available as a 1.8 liter (the world's smallest production V6) in the MX-3.
It use a VAF (Vane Air Flow meter), which had a center plunger, instead of a hot-wire like our MAF.
You would have to gut the meter to remove the temperature element.
OH WELL..THE BRAIN WASN'T WORKING

Here is the part:
When you cut it out of the housing along the red line, the connector will come out with a "pistol" shaped probe on the end.
It is sealed to the charge tube by cutting a hole that is shaped like the sensor, gasketing it and than clamping a "door" plate over the flange that remains by cutting the sensor from the housing along the red line.

ok got it . I presume i should get the plug that comes with the sensor to make the wireing easy .
Wonder if getting a stock rx8 one and cutting that up would be easier .....
