[Land-speed] ON Topic, No Political COntent, lol...Turbo and Mass Air Meter Question

[Jon Bishop]

As I understand it, the MAF has to be far enough up/downstream from  
anything to have a smooth flow of air. It's harder to meter turbulent  
air, I suppose? On my eclipse, the stock location is 10" before the  
turbo, just after that air filter/box. I've moved this to approx 8"  
from the throttle body, which is miles after the turbo (well, there's  
several feet of 3" pipe and a 24x12x4 intercooler)
