Now MM did recomend that i am to increase the size of the MAF pipe to 3.5, not the 3.0 that you see above.

I am going to have that done tomorrow however both the BOV and the MAF will be on the same pipe.

I was told 6 inches from the throttle body and 6 inches away from the BOV.

Is this correct????

wow, that engine bay is cluttered.
after I installed my GReddy turbo kit, I was wishing it had a top mounted turbo like yours...but after seeing some close ups, I'm glad I got the Greddy

my engine bay looks nice and clean

Yes; you want to be as far away from any air turbulance that you can be. And changing the pipe to 3.5" is taking it back to stock size so the scaling is closer and allows for more airflow.

Be sure to have some screens made to - that might help.

Best way to do it; is set it all up and idle the car - see if the MAF reading is a)stable and b) between 5.5 and 7 Grams per sec.

I Give Up!!!!!

So i had a 3.5 inch maf pip manufactored for me and now the STFT is about 0%, however it just wont drive. Again it bounces around when it does come close to load. So what i also did is change the 1000cc injectors the Esmeril Kit came with and installed the oem. The same.
I am just going to give it to a Rotary shop near me to fix the problem. After 3 months of waiting, I give up..

Thanks for all the help. And i will post a vid on here once its running....
