[s-cars] MAF to intake side of turbo

[Robert Myers]

Dunno, Elijah.  The MAF measures the cooling effect of the air flowing over 
it to determine how much air actually is flowing.  The place I think you 
are looking at is downstream from the intercooler.  The air at that 
location has already gone through both heating and cooling cycles and is 
now under varying amounts of pressure.  What's more, you don't know its 
temperature at that location and you don't (or I don't anyway) know for 
sure what effect the temperature and pressure of the charge air will have 
on the measurements done at the relocated MAF.  A significant measurement 
error could throw your fuel mixture off from where it should be.  This 
would not be good if it happens.

It's an interesting idea and with an EGT and a wideband OXS you might be 
able to evaluate the results
