Preparing Maf for blow thru

[240slidekat]

what do you guys do to prepare the maf for a blow thru set up. i have read that some maf tend to leak under boost. just wondering what do you guys use to seal it? im using a q45 maf.

Leak? You mean air, is it that big of a deal?

radiator hose and t-bolt clamps will do the best job of sealing, however the life of the maf will be reduced if its seeing boost

I have supercharged and turbocharged many cars and everytime I tried to blow through, it had many drawbacks .It should be on the intake side of the turbo not on the output side . This is just my personal experience

I just got my car running; it’s a fully built KA-T. I decided to go blow through and I love it. On the way to the exhaust shop I blew an IC pipe, the car still ran. I blew a few other pipes on the way home because the couplers I used have wire on the inside so they don’t clamp at all. Anyways the car still made it without a problem Try that with a draw through setup. On the MAF itself I have a 3” in to 2.5 in reducer, my car hasn’t seen more than 10 psi but it seems to be holding fine.
