Correct. Put in the 'right' way mate. Its more responsive. The blow off will be less noisy but the car runs better.

Stick a silicone hose between the maf and the cone filter too...as long as possible:)

It has ran perfect with the DV the "wrong" way for a very long time so its staying as it is :D

The filter has a built in neck on it and there is no room for a longer one..

The 007p will operate not matter how you turn it, biggest problem will be the spring not being strong enough to maintain boost under full load. And ofc a turbo'ed car has to make the noise a turbo'ed car makes! :lol:
Adding a long intake just removes even more intake noise, even though I know the MAF likes a steady flow of air. Looking at the stock intake it's also very short, never heard of anyone having weird MAF readings either.

Yellow spring in mine and it holds boost realy well. Infact I hold 1.1-1.2bar @ 6.5k rpm :D

Steve, this is how my engine bay looks at the mo, very dirty.....

Damien, it runs without problems surely. I also tried like that. Only difference is that the car is more responsive. Thats all.

Weird, most of my friends including me we are using the blue spring on our forge valves.

Concerning the distance between the maf and the air filter we noticed after logging that the longer the distance the better the readings. :)

I've got a nice 90mm cold air feed that I'll prob be fitting today :) So that should help it get a little more air too..

Not sure TBH mate, but it cant hurt it. Its got to get enough air through it as its all that feeds the standard airbox and you can get ~140-150g/s with it still in place..
 
how many g/s is yours pulling at the moment?
im sure bill said mine was about 200 or more but i didnt really know what he was going on about at that point lol but he said he was well impressed with the amount of g/s,i cant even remember the terminology he used for g/s do you know?
