Who cares man... Function over form.

If you don't like the bottle cap and screw, find something more suitable to plug the holes.

Look at all the trouble you have gone to and looking to go further, just so you can have a metal intake pipe which is not giving you ANY benefit what so ever.

Well, i was afraid to tune with this as i thought it would leak air. I suppose i could find something a bit better to cap it, but honestly i can't stand the stock inlet lol.

I wouldnt bother plumbing back unless your going back to stock bov in stock position dude.

the aftermarket bovs will require more force to open them and the turbo will still create reversion when the throttle snaps shut, before the bov has a chance to do its thing.

If you are truly limited to the Nistune then your best idea would be to move the AFM to the cold side cooler pipe. Do this before the tune and your tuner should easily be able to rescale the AFM so that it works properly. The problem will be solved and you can keep the HKS BOV and the better intake pipe :) make sure your AFM is in good condition and doesnt leak.

I wouldnt go back to the stock intake pipe as you will probably end up with a bigger turbo regardless and the AFM will need to be moved anyway. So may as well move the AFM now.

Yes i am limited to NIStune as i already have the board and ECU ready to go !

IS there a post or link that you can share or elaborate on relocating the MAF? Seems like i would have to do it while at the shop right before i get on the dyno or else my car wont work properly.

move AFM post intercooler, pre throttle...

move BOV to pre intercooler, hot pipe

rescale AFM in software, adjust INJ table to suit.

Cost you about $200 in fabrication work or so + 2x silicon reducers...

Figured that part. So pretty much Id need to drive to the shop with the car normally and then do these modification before i get on the dyno? Seems like too much work. I may just have to put the janky ass stock inlet pipe back on :\. I wish there was way to fix this reversion by putting something after the AFM but before TURBO.

Thank you ALL for the help. I truly appreciate it.

Realistically you wont need to do the work at the shop.

You can do it all at home and then limp the car to the tuner. Moving the AFM will make it run like shit but will still run.

No issue.

I would simply move the pipe to the drivers side inner guard, just after the cooler, and would leave everything else as it is.

I will look into this.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
