Air flow meter???

Just hooking up all my intercooler piping, and i need to know is it better to mount the AFM Before the turbo or after the intercooler somewhere?
I was thinking if it was before the turbo, the air metered would be changed in density by the turbo, and then again when it pass's through the intercooler, so would that equal to 2 variants from turbo to throttle body?

Not sure, I have no BOV as it is, but i should be getting one pretty soon (and no im not running a dose pipe just straight piece to pod to reduce flutter noise as much as possible)

as close as possible to the throttle in the cooler pipes is the best
after the cooler - before throttle

ive read many stories about people having it before the turbo and it would cause problems running and would stumble when taking off

mine is under my RH rail in the cooler piping

most people run it after the turbs.. i dont think it matters that much

Yeh thats what i thought closer to the TV would be better! But then i read on some stupid forum that you cant run it after the turbo, but most VL turbo's with coolers do... Why does it stumble when its before the turbo? is it because the air isnt metered properly so the ECU puts in To much/ To little fuel?

Ok maybe not near the TV.. probably closer to my engine bay would help haha

stock turbo vl's have them in standard spot near airbox but i have seen them all over the place.. i would suggest after the Cooler i would say around the dizzy area where the piping is sweeping in over to Throttle body..
thats where im gonna put mine...


Or even better put this turbo in

Hi all, in the process of putting the afm in the intercooler piping 2.5 inch, could someone please let me know how they have connected the afm in the piping? Did you use some kind of an adaptor? If yes, what is it called and where can I get it from ? TIA.
