A suggestion if its for for a track car is to change ecu and get rid of the AFM and go MAP, I would personally stick with the AFM and keep it in stock position track car or street. Depending on the amount of power your making and CFM you require unless your car is making near 1000hp a setup like this will make 5% difference in your setup.. As Status mention he literally needs to cut and epoxy the afm on the cooler piping to avoid it popping off and for a track car you'd be putting so much more stress on your setup then.

as a note it is actually a trick i picked up from serious time attack cars in japan about 10-15 years back, so it does work fine in extreme cases too but i agree that it should only be done if there is no other option.... oil saturation of the afm element is possible if its not set up right or the engine /turbo is tired.

Has anyone looked at using one of the ford lightning AFM elements. you can just use the element itself or you can get them with an element and a housing. They are around $200 and they support 800hp in NA applications.

Nistune has the VQ maps for them provided in the VQ table, so finding the VQ scales wouldn't be hard.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
