Well not sure how many have had this issue, but when I started going up in boost I was having issues with the MAF housing couplings when boosting in the 15 psi range. It would hold for a few runs but eventually blow the coupling off.

I could not find the right tightening for the clamps to hold, if I went really tight it would hold but the plastic MAF housing would distort and go egg shape and my fear was that the plastic would eventually crack and if I didn't tighten enough it would blow off.

So I had a custom one piece intake made up at an exhaust shop and powder coated silver, first attempt was to do it red to match the plenum but could not get the shade right, so I went with silver instead.

I kept the MAF even though I don't need it with the Fcon but just too lazy to wire it up to prevent CEL lights.

Next step will eventually be to use the FCON to trigger a MAF type Water/Meth kit.

So now with Turbonetics couplings and t-bolt clamps no more coupling issues

 

wow that looks oem ....lol

very nice add on

 

Thanks, I also did it for aesthetic reasons, the MAF housing just looked nasty in there and it was driving me nuts.

 

I like nice job

 

I like it, sign me up for one!!!

 

I like it. Any chance you have a mold/spec of this that you'd be interested in having produced for a group buy? I'm sure that a bunch of people would sign up for something like this...

 

The guy said he could make them for me, I would have to figure out cost of making them and powder coating, I guess we could have a batch made and then pick colors for powder coating if enough people are interested

 

yea im pretty sure a lot of ppl would enjoy a whole single piece

 

Damn you are the man! I am having the same problems at 19psi. I ended up getting some t-bolt clamps and cranked the absolute crap out of them and it sorta holds. Is this the same diameter piping as the greddy pipe? Shoot me a price please!!!!

 

I had tried to do this for the Vortech guys . Shop said the pipe it self was no big deal . It was the plate that houses the MAF and welding it in place that would cost the most . Ended up costing to much to be worth it . good luck !

 

I'd be interested in that Gus.
I just need to figure out what color.......

 

Very nice Gus. I'd also be interested in one. Keep us posted.

 

South Florida has a lot of resourceful and skilled workers not sure what you consider too much

 

Seriously put me number one on the list.

Looks clean! Good Job.

 

Time wise ...shop owner said he would have to charge around $200 for one to make it worth his time . Maybe he just wasnt interested in doing it .

 

Probably because with powder coating and shipping it should come under that easily based on what I paid.

 

Looks great Gus........

 

Thats great if you can do it . Might want to look into doing some for the Vortech guys also . Looks like it would only be a slightly different bend

 

I def like the clean look and would be interested as well.
