I was wondering if I positioned the 2g MAF sensor sideways, would it make a difference in the readings or the way it worked? Thanks for the help
 
As snowborder714 said, it won't matter which way you mount it as long as the airflow direction is correct.
 
Well I might as well show you guys the rest of the problem. Here is the log I posted on the Dsmlink forums. I thought the TPS voltage might have had a problem, but that was fine at the end. Dave over at Dsmlink noticed that my airflow (grams/rev) was lower then it should be. Thanks again Dave. It also seems that my low and mid trims are off. He suggested that I might have a leak that is causing this low reading. I did a smoke leak test, like using the dry ice method to check for vacuum leaks, and nothing was leaking. And when I do WOT pulls, the boostest matches my boost gauge perfectly, and boostest drops off like it normally should. So I know I don't have any leaks from the intake manifold all the way to the turbo. And then I checked the intake I made, and no leaks there either. Dave suggested that the way I have the MAF sensor mounted might require airflow adjustments. That is the story that lead me to ask this threads question. If you guys can take a look at my log and have any input, I would appreciate that help, thanks.
