The MAF must remain connected and in the air stream even if tuning via speed density.

Where should I locate the maf sensor! In front of the turbo inlet or in the piping?

I would recommend similar to an OEM setup.

I locate the mad sensor here where i mark in the picture! I was thinking to locate the maf sensor in front of the turbo with a filter and pipe and the IAT close to the tbody! Will thag be correct or should i leave the maf sensor where i locate? My worries is that it will get psi

It looks lean. You may need to discuss this with your tuner.

Thanks! I using e85 and not sure if the e85 im using is bad! My sensor reading 77% i have it in a gasoline container for like 2 weeks i mix it a bit with gas and drive a bit better but I definitely will and also 🤔 i will have to check my injectors just to make sure! I out a old tune and it get into boost but it hold me back and i keep my eyes on the afr but i will see what my tuner say, i text him but he haven’t responded yet
