    wonder who that could be ;D

        Bullhead, just go after what you wanna do. You listen to some of it, you ignore some of it. If you listen to all of it, you won't even start. So, just figure out who to ignore and go from there…

          Wouldn't matter if it had been an m20 AFM ;)

          As long as the AFM is in front of the turbo, Motronic and boost works well (until a coupler blows off hehe). As mentioned before, this is what was in Porsche turbo cars of the same era.

          Yeah does suck about the car, but better then something happening to Belina :/

            Roger that! Yeah I found myself stumbling some but I'm back on track. I will update my build thread once I get into doing stuff yall would actually want to see.

              When you say in front John you are saying the turbo inlet itself is where the AFM goes? And not in line between the intercooler and intake manifold right?

                You need the AFM as draw through. It is useless as a blow through.

                  Im sure theres a way to extend the wiring, Is there really any benefit for the m20 vs m30 afm for boost?

                    Not a whole lot when it's tuned properly with a chip. In stock form, the m20 AFM reads up to 200,000gms/sec, the m30 reads 250,000

                      Roger that. This has opened the doors for me to maybe get this build done in the spring and grab a full suspension kit or wheels .
