Cold Air Intake 4 Mk3

[mrnickleye]

Well, I always wondered if you could put the AFM straight onto the throttlebody using a short hose. Then you could run a 4" CAI to the AFM intake side with a step down adaptor like the ones I saw at PepBoys and AutoZone that come with those cheap cone filters (1 size fits all).

And like said above, put the filter behind the headlight/fog light. Or even in front of the a/c condensor/intercooler.

those pipes from pepbys are 4 inches??, seriously, thats the one that i got installed from nopw since im tryin to find my solution to have my tru cold air intake, theyre decent from now , since the jackass that sold me a car had a unsealed black ceramick piping as an intake, and when i told him, about that he jus said its ok since im not boosting

You can NOT run your car without a AFM any more than you can run it without a throttle body, spark plugs, pistons....it is an integral part of the operation of a Fuel injection system.

Hey I dont like how radiator clutters up the front of my engine compartment...can someone tell me how I can bypass this device?

see how silly that sounds?

Paint it, polish it, wrap it in Carbon fiber...whatever floats your boat...but Im afraid your stuck with it.

not to mention the simple fact that an O2 sensor goes in your exhaust, not your intake....

tell me somthing that i dunt know, if u were paying any attention to the thread all of those issues have been solved already , so get wit the program, he mention moving the afm by the throttle body, all i wanna know now is if the afm can work upside down because the wire isnt long enough for me to put it right side up , so if u cant help me with that question, dont try to tell me something that i already know, no offense bub, but damn , read the posts first k?

quote anywhere in this topic where you mention running the AFM upside down.

I wasnt trying to offend you, its just that in at least 2 posts after someone said you must use it you still asked about bypassing it...so I was just trying to "help" you out and make it clear that you cant...

however moving it to just off the throttle body and/or running it upside down is perfectly acceptable but I still dont see why you would want to...some people just seem to always be trying to reinvent the wheel

Mine is upsidedown and it runs fine. From the throttle body Mine goes straigh out and it has an open k&n on the end of it. Its in the space where the charcoal canister goes.

was readign this and thought of a good way to keep the maf and filter where it is and clean up the area a lil... a heat shield box. gonna have it made outa polished alum and enclose the afm and intake. shields it away from the hot air in the engine bay and hopefully wont look like shit. then you can run tubing or whatever to the box... what you say bout that?
