Is it better to place the MAFS closest to the turbo inlet or closest to the throttle body for better response? I have picked up a copy of Maximum Boost by Corky Bell and this topic was mentioned.

Now when I think about it, assuming an *efficient intercooler is installed, the temperature of the intercooled air would still be rather high compared to the incoming/suctioned air via the turbo inlet.

its not that the real problem, its cause depending on the MAFS it can break cause of too much pressure.(the plastic 1's, the stock ka should hold i guess)and then there's the thing with running atmospheric or recirculated BOV's.
