[QUOTE="mwolson, post: 11906193, member: 16006"] I may have misunderstood your setup, but if you are running a reducer in front of the MAF, I'd recommend putting it as far in front of the MAF as possible. For the MAF to work correctly, there must be laminar flow through the MAF. Laminar flow means no turbulence. So anything that can cause the air going through the MAF to be turbulent may screw up the reading from the sensor. That is why bends in the pipe right in front of the MAF is bad. It is also why backwash in the MAF is bad. I suspect that a reducer immediately in front of a MAF might cause some turbulence (but might not). To be safe, I'd put it as far upstream as possible. If it is an enlarger (no spam jokes please) I suspect it will be ok even in front of the MAF. Others may have different opinions or better yet experience. I'd be interested in hearing from them if they do. [/QUOTE]
