Afm In Plumbing?

[lwboosted]

hey all, i am just curious i tried a seach but got nothin... my brother has a vlt and he put his afm in his plumbing in between his cooler n throttle body. and apparently makes your car run better but i dont know how? i think it has something to do with cooler air through the meeter or volume...??? something... just wondering if any1 knows anything about this? does it do anything to a rb20?

cheers leigh.

it's an old urban myth, it wont make the car run better or worse.

you can certainly do it if you wish

used for getting a smooth idle if the car has cams (mild or agressive), and so you can vent a bov to atmosphere without an uber rich mixture.

i run a blowthru setup on my rb20 and it works a treat.

The air after the intercooler is invariably hotter than the air coming into the airbox, unless you've got some sort of refrigerator as an intercooler!

spot on, but if you have an efficient intercooler then the air exiting is usualy only a few degress warmer than when it entered the turbo, thermo dynamics ownz me!
