Default Scing this week, got some ?

So starting Tuesday car goes down for install, finally after 3 years, haha. Anyway So i have the s trim and all the brackets and a diy inter-cooler. My side goodies are 42# injectors ford gt pump(no pprv valve) hpx slot style maf (05 and newer maf) 50mm tial q bov.
So heres me question. Its mostly about where to put stuff inter-cooler wise. From what i understand, maf need to be in the longest part of the pipe, basically best spot is right before the tb, minimum of 6 inches after the pipe straightens out from the fender right? Then the bov, basically a few inches after the discharge on the sc, before the inter-cooler right? and lastly what do i do about the IAT? do i create a bung for it and use the stock one? or is this new style maf need a different iat set up? cuz im totally lost on that. Maybe if anyone has a picture of thier set up with similar stuff in it? its just i have to weld all that stuff in, and id rather not screw it up and find out it need to be different when i get to the dyno, a lot of work and money to replace that stuff. any help would be great.
Thanks. Also if there are any other things i need to watch out for with this set up please let me know.

Here's a few pictures of mine, you can see where the maf and bov go on my setup.





the bov is mounted between the blower and the intercooler, on the pipe going to the intercooler

Here are a couple pics of mine. Your HPX has the IAT sensor already so you should not need to worry about that. Just make sure you have at least 4 inches of straight pipe on each side of it. Your BOV will be on the down pipe coming off your S/C right before your intercooler. If you need any more pics let me know. You are on the right track.

Thanks, thats kinda what i thought. 3 years of putting this crap together and studying, you tend to forget stuff. In anycase, 3.6 is the standard 8 psi pullie right? if so i should be able to get away with a 3.33 without changing belts and without having issues with belt slip correct? Also anyone know if anyone has just made their own power pipe? Cuz i was thinking just use a what is it 2.5 to 4inch coupling off the sc intake and just run a 90 4 inch pipe over to my dense charger intake and just hook it up to that since its already an in fender cia that 4 inch. anyone got any thoughts on that?

I am running a 3.33 pulley and am at about 10 pounds of boost with my powerpipe. I have not changed my belt and I have no slip. If you can make your own powerpipe it will save you some cash. Not hard to do. Do a search on the powerpipe, there are a couple threads from guys who have made their own.

thank you for the help....Just figured out some crappy news, first i burned through my brand new wide band wires....awesome get to fix brand new stuff. second apparently i thought i had been running 2.5 inch exhaust for the past 5 years, turns out its pretty much factory minus mufflers after the x pipe. glad i caught that before i tried to make 400rwhp on the dyno haha
