    and we use -3 for the feed line, just an fyi.

    suggested: wrap all your hot pipes before installation, maf goes between throttle body and intercooler, don't let meth (if using) drip on the maf after it's done spraying, use good grade8 bolts, we use silicon and no gasket on the t4 mount.
    i'll post more if i can recall any other stuff.

    I was planning on reusing the -4 feed line with my 0.065" restrictor from my current rear mount setup. Would that work? Also, I was entertaining the thought of using the MAF as a draw through in front of the turbo - unless it is best to put the MAF between the intercooler and TB. That's where I have the MAF now but was thinking of moving it. Thanks, and please do post those pics.

    ya, -4 is fine.

    keep the maf where it's at, in between.

    BTW, how big of a turbo can I run with a 3" downpipe?

    if the turbo housing has a 3", then that's what it needs.
    the bigger ones will have a 4" housing.

    Would some variation of a Master Power T76 have a 3" downpipe?

    One more things guys, how am I supposed to get the passenger side 02 sensor to reach the turbo manifold? Is there a plug-n-play harness I can use to extend the wire?
