Obviously the question only applied to those with bypass instead of BOV and blow thru maf setup

I have the bypass on the battery side, so gotta go a long way to the other side. Ideas?

Just use a hose of the same diameter from the bypass valve to the port you make in front of the MAF.

In front of the MAF, or behind it?

That's the thing, I have trouble finding a hose 1-1/4" diameter that is flexible and bendable enough. My valve discharges upward so I have to go up and then turn 90 deg to the right (facing the car).

Any suggestion what type of hose and where to get it?

Good catch...behind it because the air has already been measured.

Lesson learned, never post until you've had a full cup of coffee

You can't rotate the bov?

McMaster-Carr has a myriad of different types of hose that you could use. Sells by the foot, shipping takes less than a week and the prices cant be beat.
