I am using the stock MAF and put it at the inlet compressor, my car is almost done and ready to start it up soon, i still have question about the tuning with the E-manage, I'm worry if the stock MAF can't read the boost at 8psi, and I'm not sure what's the range of the fuel map from a Stock ECU? all i know is , when I see the MAF read at 4.9v on my E-manage tools(on my laptop) , I will be in danager, so what if it's over 5v? should I manual adjust the stock Fuel map thru the E-manage? should I put the MAF after the compressor outlet just for tuneing? what did everyone do when they just start the car?I am asking who those have the same setup as mineT3FMUE-manage370ccstock MAF
I am a beginner of doing this project, I want to be safe? the worse I can do is buy a 300zx MAF instead, right?
I custom my own intercooler piping, I almost get it done, but in the OEM stock intake , there are 3 hoses/lines attached to the intake, I know one is the vavle cover i can just put a breather there, and there's one small line that goes somewhere , i am not sure if I need that, and the last one , that's goes to the back of the intake manifold, I have no clue what that is, I heard it is relate to EGR? however, if I need those piping? where should I put them? before or after the compreesor? and what did yo do to make a custom intercooler piping to fit those small outlet for the line?
Tuning quesiton? and Intercooler piping ?
You won't hit 8PSI when you first start the car. So start it up, don't worry. Just tested out a bit by revving it up a few times an keeping an eye on your AF. A T3 at 8PSi shouldn't be a problem for the stock MAF, but when doing some WOT runs make sure to keep an eye on the MAF voltage to make sure it doesn't run over 5V.
The 3 hoses that go to the intake are:
1 - valve cover breather: yep a small filter can do the trick or vent it before the compressor WITH an oil catch can to be safe2 - EGR: if keeping the EGR system (I did) route to before compressor3 - Idle relays: some people put it before compressor, I put it before TB

Yep... that's what my mechanic told so we put that hose after the compressor. But I have seen some people running it otherwise... I think one of them was the XS kit.
