That looks interesting. Could just stick that in my 2.5" intercooler piping and forget about it rather than having to try and fit the Z32 in there. I am still not sure if i should put it in the hot or cold side of the piping though...

cold side, keeps Mr AFM happier

My Q45 was almost out of voltage @ 281 RWKW (5.05V). If memory serves, 5.1V is the upper ceiling. This is on an RB30DET, GT3076R 0.82 A/R, 256/8.5mm IN/EX, 3" Turbo back (no mufflers). Only reason I went with it was because a mate had just stripped a front cut with a VH45 in it and sold it to me for sweet FA.

If I had my time again, I'd stick with the trialed and true Z32.

Have heard good things about the R35 AFM's but my build was intended to be stealth and look stock. Using this AFM with the stock airbox would require some work I wasn't prepared to take on.

I am personally against the idea of putting hot wire AFMs into the blow through configuration. They see so much oil in the air flow that they get dirty. And that's before you consider that they weren't intended to run with lots of positive pressure inside. They are not that mechanically strong, nor is the sealing of the electronics' penetrations into the inside built to withstand pressure. I would rather go MAP sensing than blow through AFM.

Did you have a look at the HPX AFM's that have been linked GTSBoy? Very different from just popping a standard Z32 in the cooler piping.

Yeah, have seen them before. Obviously physically stronger than a stocker, but notwithstanding the fact that they're using a different sensor element, sticking them in an oily flow is still a bit iffy. Otherwise it seems like the smart way to go about getting a bigger AFM for Nistune installations.
