MAFT Pro..the DSM and GNX guys I have talked to and read about are putting down well over 500rwhp with it, and Im about to do the same..and for $400 + a MAP sensor ($45) you cant beat it. Plus you can control timing, real time AFR tracking, data logging is avaliable, complete user interface via laptop, etc..

Maft pro is one thing i would not know how to work with at all...and i cant afford towing it to corpus again, If you were willing to come here, Id go that route, but i doubt it.

it works. where are all the oldschool turbo guys at. Go look at a stock 7mgte. the maf on an odb1 sc3 is interchangeable with a 7mgte, exact same part.
Its location is in drawthrough, why? because it works better.
Toyota doesn't care about how cool your BOV sounds when it vents to the atmosphere. if you look closely you will see that it is all recirculated to the air intake pipe.

blowthrough can be made to work without letting in unmeasured air if you disconnect both the crankcase and pcv and connect them to before the turbo.
if you have the pcv valve connected to the intake manifold like stock, you are sucking in unmetered air through the other side (crank case).

On an obd1 setup are you guys serious? Go out and turbo an obd1 sc, recirculate your bov and tell me how much you have stalled... There is no way around the maf/stalling issue unless you just elimate it. Thats the whole point of my post, instead of getting a headache over the maf, ditch it.

P.S. The 7mgte electronics are way different. Toyota put that recirculation hose on at the factory but it isnt even needed. You can ditch it right away and you wont have stalling problems.

go blab that crap over on clubna-t and see how far it gets you...if your setup properly, you can run a recirculated bov with no stalling issues on an ODB1..but that is wayy off topic any way, were discussing spark plugs, not how you failed to recirc a bov the right way.
