OK so I am missing the connectors from the P1 to that other tube.

Now you see I have that 2400BA SCT MAF. I don't have that connect they say I need. But its made for one....what do I do?

No need to bolt it to anything, it can hang free the pipes will support it well enough. Theres plenty people running theres that way. Or if you want to spend a little more get you a maf flange from vmptuning.com, drill a hole in your i/c pipe in the correct spot, weld the flange on and mount the actual maf sensor in that. Thats what I ended up doing. Costs a bit more in the end though but tuning results are better as well.

If you get a tight enough clamp it should work, or you can try the adapter I linked. Let me know what you end up doing because I'm in the same predicament as you.

i would think a 90degree coupler, 3in to 4in would work with t-bolt clamps?? anyone?

Youre making things hard on yourself. You dont need a flange to bolt it up and all that **** like oem. Just slip a coupler on it, slip the pipe in the other end and slap some tbands on it simple as that.

In that case the maf sensor is mounted in the ic piping itself rather than a maf housing that is put inbetween the piping. This allows for more consistent air flow, no changes in the pipe before/after the maf etc. If you want pics ill post some for you.

well I am going to order thoughs couplers on Monday! And t-bolt it. Id it blows off under boost I'll worry about it then with the Tuning Guy. I am 3 couplers and a bracket away!

Oh and how big is the coupler for the P1 to the tube for the BOV?

Meausre the OD of the outlet on the blower, measure the OD of the pipe, and thats what you need. For vortech I needed a 2.75 to 3 if I remember right. Not 100% sure on what the procharger would be.
