Relocate afm??

that to do about the afm. Is there anyway that I could mount it on the charge pipes? I heard of this before does it affect anything? As you can see in the pics the turbo is too far up to put the afm anywhere else...

Less bends the better. Lets just put it that way. That idea will work, but the stock position is much better, and with a little fabbing you can get some cold air to that filter. Letting it sit behind the radiator wouldn't be my choice.

Second, do yourself a favor and by a real throttle body elbow, the stock one was designed with a TMIC in mind, your just adding to air resistance there leaving it. There was also a good reason to mount it before the turbo, I forgot why. That is if your question was to put it in between the IC and TB.

I was thinking of putting it on the charge side, but after looking at the space better I see no possible way....I dont see any other way of putting it. I you could see it in person to see what I am talking about. The manifold sits the turbo right up front... not even enough room for my to mount the afm directly on the turbo.
