I was just looking around on Google for any info to see whether or not this messed with the intake velocity at the TB to any discernable degree...

At any rate, the reason for it all is I've been building an entirely new intake snorkle from the TB forward so I can properly locate and box a cold air intake and get the nice tone of an all-metal intake to go with the new SP2 exhaust. I figured it would be worth messing with a couple things while I'm at it.

I am running a S5 T2 flow meter on my S4 t2 car,i placed the flow meter at 12 inches off the TB plates(third gen upper and tb) plus tuned the flow meter with the e-manage and it runs great,i didnt have a problem with my AFR at all but im running 1000.cc secondaries 550 primaries on pararel fuel system on a HYBRID TO4E,now before the change i was running a vented BOV and the car uses to backfired now with the BOV right at the turbo it wont backfire anymore,I am very pleased with the results,about the safety switch in the S4 MAF heres what i did,back in the late 90s GM cars came with a oil pressure actived fuel pump(something like that) The fuel pump only runs when a sensor located at the block or sending unit sees oil pressure then a relay will activated the fuel pump so my brother installed a similar system on my car
