GM Maf on 1g Car

[91LaSerTurBo3]

well i was wondering if getting the GM Maf and maf-translator would be a waste of time and money with my setup(3"Turbo-Back Exhaust, k&n Air Filter, k&n CrankCase Breather, Voodoo MBC) i do plan to finish the 1st stage power mods, so thats just there for consideration, also i plan to cure my boost creep, so an power gained from that would also be counted

no I dont think its a waste of time or money. You get to vent your BOV and thats always nice. But I think it would be hard if you had stock intercooler piping.

 

[91LaSerTurBo3]

can you vent the stock 1g bov to the atmosphere or do you need a new BOV

 

[chodaboy3545]

Yes as long as you got the MAFT and GMmaf. vent proudly

It'll leak, but of course, who cares about performance when you can vent!

I love my maf-t setup. It has a very nice injector compensation. For fine tuning I use an safc. Only issue with the maf-t setup is it can cause timing to run high when large injectors are used. I am going to run e85 so timing should still be fine. Dsmlink and the ma-t setup work great together if you can afford it down the line.

alright thanks for that.. but blownturbotsi said "It'll leak, but of course, who cares about performance when you can vent!", but would the maf and maf-t compensate for the lost air? so in theory no performance should be lost? or iam i wrong with this thought

You should upgrade your intercooler pipes and grab a 2g throttle body elbow.

If you got the money upgrade to a front mount intercooler.

No as long as you tighten everything up, and run a filter on the turbo youll be fine.

 

[chodaboy3545]

^^ ya get some hard intercooler piping flange it for what ever bov you want.

(I like the Tial)

 

[91LaSerTurBo3]

is it alright if i use the stock 1g BOV or would i lose performance in doing this? also ive got some boost creep, and im wondering what i can do to eliminate fuel cut so that i can just let my turbo go nuts , so would adding the maf + translator be something i could use to also achieve this?

 

[chodaboy3545]

I had fuel cut when I put my 16g in and after I put the 2g maf in it was better. so putting the gm maf and translater in should help alot.

I have the maft on my talon and i love it, i wasnt sure about it at first, no problems with mine.

 

[91LaSerTurBo3]

so if i go with the maft, then do i just take out all the shit thats in between the airfilter?

 

[JayRolla]

What boost level is your turbo creeping too?

 

[Tsi_User]

im running my ported 14b at 15psi on a 3 inch MAS/MAFT and a front mount and love it

Maf, intake hose, bov recirc tube, Asumming you are getting the maf translator and upgrading the upper piping for the maf t.

What boost level is your turbo creeping too?

Yep answer this.

You should go ahead and get a 2g o2 housing and port the waste gate.

 

[91LaSerTurBo3]

i know, ive been waiting for the weather to get nice, an see if i cant get a nice o2 housing and exh manifold from the wreckers.. um it goes up to 16 before i stop it or i hit fuel cut
