Relocated MAS

[Bestwestranger]

So we all know that dumping your boost instead of recycling it is bad, right? The MAS has already measured the air, and dumping out the BOV means that you are going to run rich, if it all. So, why couldn't you move the MAS between the intercooler and the throttlebody? This way you could vent your BOV to the outside because the air hasn't been measured yet! Works in theory I guess. Has anyone tried it? The only downfall to my question is the problem of heat. I would guess that the air is going to be about twice as hot at the throttlebody than it would be before the turbo...and I am not sure if the MAS could handle it.

ya that's what I'm going to use, go to Dejontool's website. They have what you need to do it.

I actually meant moving the stock MAS, not replacing it with the GM part...

Your Stock MAS is not made to be used in a Blow Through Set up, it was created for draw through set up. It just will not work if you relocated it. What everyone else posted before is that the MAF translator can be used in a draw through or blow through set up because of its design.
