no. you take it off and throw it in the trash....where it belongs.
which is what "they" were talking about.
now,
if you're on stock ecu and bandAIDZ (aka voodoo box) then yes you are stuck with attempting gay reach-arounds like moving it post bov to make it feel less crappy. but its still not going to fix the issue properly
so basically this thread is about OP ditching aids and getting a proper ecu like a man![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I'll save you the 2 minutes I spent measuring and hopefully the 2 days I spent not ordering correctly.
You want one of these: Silicone Turbo Hoses
And 2 of these: Turbo Piping
They only have an 'add to cart' button, so for the joiners make sure you change the number to 2 before you checkout. I didn't and got 1 joiner and 1 coupler, cost me an extra $10 in shipping for the second joiner.
The 2 joiners are a bit long, in my car they are touching in the middle of the coupler, but for N/A it will do. Also the GM IAT sensor won't fit in the stock NB IAT sensor hole, so wrap that bitch in electrical tape until it does.

Why in the world would you do that? I have no clue what the **** you're trying to do.. you say you got an MS3.. why the **** are you ******* around with a MAF? Run the ******* temp sensor in the intake, the MAP in the manifold and tune the ******. ******* toss a filter in the middle of this bitch behind the headlight or somewhere.

I'm not using a MAF. I said I hollowed out the MAF housing to use it as a place to install the AIT sensor (the stock air box was removed and replaced with a cone filter).
Pretty sure the MAP sensor is built into the MS3 (I ran a vacuum line from the intake to the MS).

You must've read what I said wrong...

Oh well I'm guessing you had no clue but the maf sensor goes for 150-200 ish bucks.

Exactly you dont need the maf housing to install the temp sensor. You can bolt that **** anywhere. Zip tie it to the outside of the filter. For a NA car it will work fine since u dont have a turbo to heat up the air after that.

I recently discovered that unless you don't care about scalpel like precision in your tune, or proper mat enrichments, it needs to be in direct airflow or it will cause all kinds of inconsistencies. Had it just laying in the bay for a couple days of tuning, then put it inside the filter. Much more consistent now.
