Blow through is how this car is set up from the factory ,and all the other aftermarket kits are designed on these cars. GTM TT Greddy TT GTM supercharger Boosted performance Mid mount S & R single turbo. Stillen is the only kit that is making the car do something it was not designed to do re-locate the maf's to the front.

Having the Maf's out front you cant read intake car temp with a long from uprev. They also max out at a lower HP level because of the size location/small pipe.

Blow through you can vent to atmosphere on our cars draw through Stillen set up you can not.

This is one of the reason's I sold the kit and did not put it back on my car with the built motor I am driving around with now.

I do think there can be more power had from the Stillen kit ,but you have to change thing's with the kit. Stillen is not on these forums anymore for support nor are they putting out any other stages of the kit.
Thanx a lot man,, So let me see if I get this. So I can just make the intake to the SC bigger 2.75 or 3? And move the MAF's to after the SC( But would have to split the pipes( Could use two 2 inch pipes). Or at least just make the pipe to the SC pipe bigger . I have the whole front of th car off now at the dealer, Thats why I'm even thinking about do this now the car is down and will be down for the next 2 weeks waiting for the SC to be fixed,.

I would just make the intake bigger and keep the maf's there right up front, that way they can read the higher volume of air. Splitting the pipes after the supercharger would be a lot of custom work. You have to use the stock manifold have equal length pipes of the throttle body's to Air to Air intercooler.Thats a bit a custom work and would take someone knowing what there doing.

Just making the intake pipes bigger is simple and keeping the maf's where Stillen designed it.

OK , Thanx man Was thinking of staying with the Stillen mani tho there is another hear exchanger on there I would want to keep, So I will look into just a larger pipe to the SC then.

BTW I know Stillen is not on here , Why seems now one is really happy with them.. I'm in the middle with them right now, They guy I'm dealing with is mad cool, and helpful but overal just EH with them in general.
