paul ko has an s4 maf that was after the turbo and in the 12's in the mid 90's. its neat he put a plexi cover on it, so you can see how far the door opens.
on my battery relocate i ran the + cable right to the starter post and then insulated the stock ends and tucked em away. for a little bit i think i ran 2 batteries, like an rv, or pauls FD
ooh neat! i want to do that. my turbo is already way loud with no filter on the afm, imagine if no afm on the turbo at all! do you know what he used to seal the filter adapter to the afm so it doesnt leak?
and thanks for the battery help, my kit i have came with the positive wire ended in a thing to go on the starter cable, so now i jsut need to get over my fear of drilling holes in my cars body so i can mount it down.

anything else besides vacuum leaks cause it to die instead of idle, but run great everywhere else?
i cant find any more leaks!
tps adjusted? idle screw all the way out? idle mixture?
how low can you get it to run? does it start right up?

yeah im an idiot
i thought the idle screw was all the way open, but i didnt look hard enough to figure out how it works.
idles rock steady with the tps unplugged, kinda shaky with it plugged in. its not anywhere clsoe to adjusted right though.
i might still have a few leaks, but **** it, it idles on its own now!
thanks dudes
