Hey guys,

When I bought my Cobra the blower was already installed but it was setup with the MAF in a draw thru setup. I recently converted it to blow thru. I have noticed in some pictures of your guys setup's that you have your IAC connected to the pressure side right before the TB. When I bought my car the IAC was connected to the power pipe (suction side).

Should I keep it hooked to the power pipe, or do I want to connect on the pressure side? I figured that it was meant run under suction, like it would from the factory, but that is just a guess. Should I move it to the pressure side?

Thanks guys!

Pressure side. Its more important to know what the iat's are before it enters the engine than before its compressed and blown thru an intercooler where the temp will change from the original reading.

the IAC should be after the maf because it uses metered air to control idle
IAT should be before the throttle so temps are accurate

Ahh, ok. Yeah, I knew about the IAT's I just wasn't sure on the IAC. Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to know! Thanks man!
