other things that need to add or emphasize is that all MAF is not designed to be placed as a 'blow thru' setup, u can try but no guarantee..........however a Hotwire is more applicable for blow thru!! hotwire provides a constant heating to the wire exposed to the incoming air traffic, n when it cools down, it'll need more V to keep the element hot, thus this is how it tells the ECU based on this info.... I might probably need to take back my word on the 'perfect world' in the previous post, so if u placed the VTA BOV before the MAF, the shockwaves travel back thru the MAF to the BOV and this might provide temporary wrong readings, and if u placed the VTA BOV after the MAF, ur still back to square one of sending rich burn data to ur ECU....
if u wanna go for hotwire, get urself an MAF Translator, that's the product's name, there are available kits readily available for mitsu DSM models like ur 4G6x family!! so no problem watsoever....
remember as i said if not mistaken urs should be running karman too, means it's using hertz as reference, n hotwire is using voltage as reference, so the maf translator places a hotwire and translates the V into Hz signals in order for ur ECU to be able to read properly.....
for me i didn't take on this path coz no one in the US is familliar with my GSR 4G9x series and they just told me they can't guarantee whether it works or not, thus not worth me spending some USD 200 just for experiment am I?
Yo kenneth,
I'm quite clear about that now. I did search throught some web, found that many driver did meet the same problem. Not even for only Mitsu car, but other as well even for continental car.
In fact, blow-in is still the best setup for any turbo car. Anyway, I try to find out what is the air flow sensor type that my car is using now. Let you know while we meet. :_:
