Now, I keep telling Wayne to look at the picture above... - I sez, Wayne, there's the MAF on the end of the filter of the RSM Kit!!!! Damn it! Don't you know anything about supercharging?!!!*:rage:
Rob... the verdict please!;)

His stock MAF is sitting in his back seat, I don't think there is one??

Whew, edit done... It sure looks like the MAF... it must be some kind of meter no? It even has the meter flow indicators on the sticker with the "UPC" Code...
....Say, ain't that filter, kinda, kinda... puny?wtf:confused::p

I can tell you there's no MAF in Rob's car.. When we had the autotap hooked up there were no readings coming from it, plus like I said, I think it's sitting in his back seat or trunk right now.

I have talked to the guys at RSM a tad about this. A very early prototype (as seen on Frank's car in early stages) had the MAF sandwiched between the compressor and the air filter; current versions of RSM's kit do not use a MAF at all - it is MAP based.

Frank's? That's Robs right there... Can't remember Frank's. SPAZ mentioned he runs of the MAP.

So I was right, that is a MAF on Frank's car:D sweet.

Wow, I really got behind on this one, huh? That'll teach me to go on vacation (I'm on my gf's computer, she's always like "oh my god, are you on that site again?"
Yeah, RSM was able to route a tube from my intake to my garage back home where my MAF is and back to my charger... its quite trick. Like Matt said - MAP based.
BTW, I polished up my MAF so its all nice and shiny if anyone wants it for like $10 + $2,000 core :D
