So I have to mount the MAF some where after the SC and then the Mini Race between the SC and MAF right.
Correct
Well here is what got this whole thing started. I never made a bigger hole on my Boost Pipe, I didnt know I had to. So when Im getting my engine put in Im going to plug the one hole and then drill a 1.5in hole and weld the pipe onto it. I was showing him what I had to do. Then he asked me if I could just blow to atmosphere. Then all I would have to do is fill the whole and not have to drill the boost pipe. From what people did Im just gonna keep it the way it is and just drill the new whole. But I have a question about that. How do you plug the orignal hole on the boost pipe? Do you have to cut it off or can you just weld it shut?
The reason for a bigger hole is because the stock one is 1" ID, and the race BOV is 1.6" ID. Also, you will need to weld a flange onto the pipe because it it not a male tube/male tube outlet. (unless your looking at getting the polished Bosch style BOV, which is ABSOLUTE crap.) This is what I assume you are looking at:

To do a blow through setup you need to install the meter between the SC and intake. to do this W/O and Intercooler setup would require craming a meter and BOV in a VERY small space. It can be done (not with 90mm maf) but will be a pain. Also, extreme temps from the SC could damage the MAF. I have no proof of this but the outlet air temp on a
vortech SC can reach over 200 degrees. This is mostly because of heat soak from the engine oil.
Basic rule for the vortech is the SC is the same temp as your oil, air is same temp as SC.
2 options:BEST: Do a FMIC. PM me for this route. I have a how-to write up on it along with where to get all the parts and what you would need. Requires basic welding skills and a minium 50amp flux core wire feed welder.
Cheap way: Get a transmission cooler and put it inline on the SC oil feed line. Will lower overall temp of SC. Wont work as good as FMIC, and for $200 more, you could have had a FMIC.
So, if you are just looking at getting the
Kachhhhhooo! sound, I would suggest getting a steel power pipe, the race valve i mentioned before, and running the 1.75" hose from it to the power pipe. The larger size and different material will make the sound louder. This is your cheapest and easiest way to increase the noise.
