Ok here we go got my intercooler yesterday cx racing with a bov
And also ordered a sct ba2600 mass air from am muscle and got that in just 25 hours ftw

Now I got several questions ...

1.. How to I mount the bov...I know where it goes but what do I plug into it
2.. Do I keep my plastic bypass valve or get ride of it now that I have the bov
3...Do I need to keep the power pipe assembly with all the vac hoses conected to it or can I just get a power pipe and use that with only the air filter conected to it?
4...Can I make up the lost boost by using a power pipe?
5...Can I use my old bbk intake and mount the new mass air and a pipe going to the intercooler to it the bbk intake is like 4in and the intercooler piping is like 3in can that work ?

Ill upload pics when I get on the computer soo far I installed the intercooler and covered the inlet and outlet because I had to use the car today

your diagram is correct. That would be a way to do it. The idea is for compressed air to go thru the intercooler before going into the engine.
-yes get rid of the recirculating valve
-the blowoff valve gets a vaccum line to the top
one potential problem I see is that the MAF sensor housing is flanged on one side (it would have been a little easier if it was a tube on both sides. You may need on of those flange to tube adapters


or if you have an older cold air intake you can use that piece from it.
other than that everything should be very straight forward. a band saw or a chop saw would make the job a lot easier, but a hand saw would do the job.

It might work, you wont really know till you try it, but to be in the safe side I would try to get an adapter (from flange to tube) to have more flexibility so that if it does not work the way you have it now you will be able to rotate it. I have seen the adapters on Ebay from ~$10 to $20.

The only thing I would be concerned about is how close the maf is to the bend before/after it. You can try it that way and data log your maf count. If you get a big fluctuation in the counts then the maf is to close to the bends. (before or after).

did you order the adapter yet? i did not see the pic you posted 'till now. you can cut the tube after the flange and before the bend, then use a coupler to join them. that would allow you to rotate the maf and not have buy anything else

thats a good idea ...im going to take of my intake assembly tomorrow and see if this thing even reaches far enough to make the bend down to the intercooler and then ill take it from there

where can i find a power pipe for the blow through set up?


you know the power pipes they use on the prochargers those huge ones with out the holes in it for a bypass valve

if this doesnt work i dont know what else to use that would go from tb to intercooler anyone sell tb to intercooler pipes?

You would have to have one made up. Or try to buy the intercooler to TB from a procharger set up.

If the maf is to close to a bend the car will "hunt" terrible with the turbulent air going thru the MAF.

That is not my car or set-up, just a random picture. On a procharger it's in the tube coming from intercooler to the TB.

Here is a picture of mine (during mock-up). The MAF is the straight section in the back of the pipe. I'm running a slot style sensor:
