[s-cars] MAF to intake side of turbo

[Todd Bellwood]

I've seen this done on several turbo cars, but not one of ours yet. One car
in the European Car "1.8T shootout" and on several 911 TT's. I've even seen
it done on several older Flapper door AFM's turbo conversions as well. It
must work to some extent or they wouldn't be doing it. The amount of air it
could flow downstream of the turbo would obviously be increased. The pre
turbo air plumbing would obviously be simpler for those with non OEM
turbo's. ONE CAVAET HOWEVER. IT WILL BE SEEING ALOT OF BLOWYBY OIL. It would
have to be cleaned often and will probably fail prematurely.
