Hey i recently added a custom cai to my greddy turbo kit, but i can tell it is not running like it use to, so my only guess is that the way i have the maf sensor positioned is wrong. Or maybe i dont have enough straight pipe behind the maf housing causing it to stall on occasion and be choppy. Any info would be amazing, i just need to know what i need to change to get it to run smoother. There are tons of people who know alot more then i do about maf sensor positioning so please help. Use the pictures as references, sorry if they are blurry.

 

you need a screen in front of it and the turn after is too close.

 

^ what he said.

might also want to take a look at this thread: similar issues to yours https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-engine-tuning-forum-63/wont-idle-193131/

 

so i need to pick up a screen and put it in before the maf housing, then put a piece of pipe behind it to make the bend further away. What does the screen really do just for curiosity?

 

oh and any idea where i can get a screen from haha?
