Has anyone had back flow issues with an Anderson power pipe? I am running a v2 and under low load I am getting turbulence against the Maf sensor.... any help would be greatly appreciated!

IIRK, that's a known issue. You're moving very little air (relatively speaking) through a large diameter pipe, it's going to do some funky stuff.

Any suggestions on what I could do? I had the car tuned at a great shop and he couldn’t tune at idle or low rpms because of the backwash from the pipe. Car makes great power now, but stalls sometimes and bucks on deceleration....

Is that just a switch change? This is my first go around with boost and I am lost at this point..

You have to move the MAF from in front of the blower to after the blower. It moves the MAF closer to the throttle body. I had the exact same issues you had when I had a D1 on my 01 Cobra. I swapped to blow through and it worked so much better.

if intercooled the maf should be post intercooler as well. Most of us put the MAF in a straight section before the TB. The easiest way to do that is usually changing to a slot style MAF. It's a bit of work to reconfigure but it's a much better signal to tune with

This. I ended up running a BA5000 in a 3.5" pipe by using the VMP flange adapter. It was really easy to tune.

This is the answer right here.
