Reloacated AFM - pics
Last night I got my silcone hose reducer from turbo housing to afm (reducer).
I relocated the afm to in front of the radiator. It also does not catch on the bonnet either.
The difference is now like night and day now. I also think my 4 wire 02 sensor wiring had a loose connection.
I will post up pics later tonite. I have lost even more bling now (spike)
Just wanted to see pics of how and where others have relocated their AFM

yup thats what I did. I had to trim the silicon coupler to make it short enough, then trim the edges of the fan on either side of the mounting bolt to make it fit. it was a snug fit.
are you using the stock greddy dp? if not, could you get a picture of any trimming you had to do with the heat sheild? I have to trim mine sometime soon, and it'd be nice to get some ideas in my head before I do it.

Relocated my AFM into this location last November. This has proven to be a very efficient setup- the pressure drop across the unit is zero even with the engine at full load.

You should tap a vac line fitting onto the AFM for the breather. OlderGuy and brgracer have pics in their VBgarages showing where they did it.
Sam, my 2 ventures into AFM removal, though brief, were night and day. *Much* better drivablity and a 1.5-2 psi boost increase without that damn thing.

Never gets warm, the restriction is now zero - even at full load and the engine seems to like it too! Must be the cardboard box it's sat in that helps I think though!
Here's what mine looks like now (sans AFM)...
I've never had any problems not running the crank case breather either - been running it VTA for years now and never seen any problems at all!

I did exactly the same - makes it a whole lot nicer IMO.
