The 300ZX just uses actuators that are set at a preset boost level, and the MAF measures the amount of air.......
The ECU on a MAF based car DOESNT CARE what boost you are running, it only cares how much air is entering the engine
You dont have let the ECU know what boost you're running.... Just put your MAF on the pressure side.... IMO you dont want to have the MAF on the intake side like it comes on the twin turbo Z because you have to be COMPLETELY FREE of boost leaks... Even if you have a tiny boost leak its going run really crappy... plus instead of assuming the air going into the turbo via the MAF is the same as exiting, you are measuring the amount of air that ACTUALLY enters the motor.
So the way Id set it up is you have your turbo with air filter somehow hooked up to it (or them ), run it up to your intercooler and then on the charged air piping throw in your MAF before the TB...
Im reasonably sure this is how JWT recommends doing it.... The only reason they dont run it this way on the twin turbo Z is because theyd need 2 MAF.
