I personally have never had an issue with SCT BAxxx meters ran as draw thru. I run a BA3000 MAF setup as draw thru and a vortech Mondo Valve and love it, drives perfect

I am running the same set up as lizzy and I still have room to grow. If you can go this route.

you dont have to recirculate a blowthrough setup, i have a slot style maf where where the factory maf is located, and my bypass is behind the driver foglight.

OK. So this is what I have put together. Am I on target to do the full conversion;

-Slot style MAF plus harness/flange, etc.
-Blow off valve (any certain type for this? Ive heard Tial, but what else is there?)
-Powerpipe for the intake?
-retuning
