After reading an unnamed ricer magazine article on blow off valves, I have a question. They were testing different stock and aftermarket blow off and diverter valves.
They said with MAF cars, a diverter valve is needed because if the extra pressure is just blow off into the air the MAF will have already metered for that air and when it doesnt get to the engine the will run rich.
I am thinking that this is when the MAF sensor is not on the pressure side of the turbo. Am I wrong?
If I ran the MAF sensor on the pressure side of the turbo, and the BOV before the MAF sensor would everything work, no fuel metering problems? I would probably still route the air back into the turbo inlet to help lag after shifts, but I wannna make sure that if I didnt do that, I wouldn't be messing up my MAF sensor and having it not meter fuel right.
Thanks in advance.
