moving maf closer to air filter

[cus]

i've fitted an elbow joiner between my maf and air filter to move it closer to the wing.

just wondering why soime people have moved the maf next to the air filter, and some have kept it near to the TIP.

surely it shouldn't make any difference??

Ive ran mine right near the filter and its been fine..

I'm running my filter right off the MAF with no problems.

cool cheers. just wondered if it made any difference... somehow lol

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Nope Neither at all...

Curzon as well as damo run it off the maf..

Running my filter straight off maf too.

Same here basicly, just with a little reducing pipe inbetween.

maybe a stupid question, but doesit matter if the maf is upside down or not? its just i would prefer the connector to be at the back tolook tidier

I believe you shouldn't run it at more than 60 degrees from vertical.

I think its meant to be between 9-10 oclock and 2-3 oclock.

Here is mine

I would say leave it closer to the tip rather than the filter cause that gives the airflow some time to become less turbulent as it passes over the MAF therefore giving you better readings and hopefully a better running car.

This has kinda been coverd before, basicly i think the main reason some people have moved there MAF away from the TIP is the fact they where running a golf mk4 TIP and it caused stalling issues when sat next to the TIP. PhilW had these Issues i belive.

I just run mine next to the filter as i think a continuous pipe looks tidier.

I agree with this.
I also read that having your maf too close to TIP (golf tip) could cause issues. Plus as said I also think a continous silicone pipe looks better.

i run mine at 6 o clock no issues at all and still get good readings on vagcom!!!

 

[andycupra]

id run it closer to the tip so that the airflow is 'straight' and less suspectible to being disturbed.

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

This is how im running my maf

 

[SEATCOOBER]

[DaNnY_LaD]

2.5 ATP tip

Fit sooo nicely too
