Draw-Thru setup Question (IAT sensor relocation)?
ok intercooler question. When I go to the intercooler, if I keep my mass(lightening) on the powerpipe and my bov venting through the system(not atomosphere), but have my IAT sensor in the piping about 2 feet away from the throttlebody do u think it will idle right or will it still be trying to dump in metered air? Trying to figure the best way to run this setup and not peg out my Lighting MAF?

ok, so my mass and bov(bosch) will be fine on the powerpipe? Would it give me more power to do a blow-thru setup and install the mass into the piping about 2 feet from the throttlebody and keep the bov the same way it is venting threw the system(not atmosphere). Also installing the IAT sensor in between the TB and mass?

Typically, but not always, if people run a blow through setup they run a blow off valve and vent the air to the atmosphere but theoretically you could still run it back to an intake pipe. It doesn't give you any more power by simply switching to a blow through setup. And yes, your MAF and bosch bypass will work fine.

its cool I like helping out. Asking questions is how I learned the info I am telling you. Well we did decide that an intercooler is cheap insurance. If you didn't want to get an intercooler right now, I would run most likely run the stock 3.6 pulley, but you could probably get away with the 3.33. All the intercooler does it lower your intake temps which allows you to pull more timing. Since you don't have an intercooler just make sure your tuner doesnt go crazy with timing and you should be ok.
