With a turbo upgrade I’m very curious to know how much gains are to be had with a race MAF. I’m contemplating picking a race MAF up in advance.
Are you currently using a stock maf or a street maf?

Yeah, these types of mods are generally only going to help by extending the point before torque drops off and to help bigger turbos flow better (think sucking in through a small straw vs a bigger straw)

They don't help much in terms of making more hp.

On my stock MAF I had better LTrims than with the Race MAF. But according to prl I’m better sticking with the race maf because it will allow more hp gains.

Ya the shop i go to has a mustang dyno. Only pulled low 300s @32psi. Granted ign was left alone becuase we hit the boost cycling and called it a day. Glorified wastegate test day.

Well Hopfully a solution comes. Otherwise your options might be limited to a manual boost control system. Or motec.

Ok guys I'm finally installing my turbo this weekend. Any helpful tips for the install? I have new plugs, fresh oil/filter, coolant, titanium downpipe studs and of course all gaskets, lines and hardware that came with turbo.

I think I have all that is needed.


Thanks in advance.
