its more work, more piping this way top gunz is thinking.

Were rotating the blower down 90 degrees, The pipe will go straight down and around the rad into the intercooler and on the driver side.

On the passenger side were running a 3" off the intercooler. this is branching into 2 -3 "pipes up the TBS. my MAFS will be mounted 9"-10" away from the TBS.

If you use the stock manifold, you have more piping, Also, your pipes going up to the TBS will be different lengths, this will cause problems.

the blower gives you no room on the driver side to run a pipe up to the TBS., so a longer pipe would have to be fed through the passenger side, around the front of the motor up to the TBS, The pipe will be 20"s longer than your passenger intake tube.

Lol. This is exactly as I had drawn it up. And yeah, no way can you use the driver side throttle body and stock mani.

That "Y" your talking about...Can you use the intake Y pipe? How big is that thing? I was going to just 3D print up some plugs for the maf holes.

My bad, I just saw your drawing haaha

exactly how were doing it.

sorry dude.

But i'm sure you could use that Y pipe, I think sasha's just making a custom one. Were also thinking of running a 4" pipe off the intercooler, mount both mafs in the 4" tube, so they have the exact same readings. then a branch off to 2 3" pipes up to the TBS
