Some additional pictures of the NACA ducts and underside of the hood. The carbon on the underside of the hood on the passenger side is to seal the airbox better against the hood.

wait a minute....kinda looks like you figured that out and moved it...and plugged the maf sensor hole right by the throttle body...

is that what happened?
That was one of the reasons why we moved it, but definitely not the main reason. The main reason was to get the MAF on a longer section of straight pipe to give it a more consistent reading. Ideally we wanted a diffuser inside the pipe to stabilize the air flow, but putting the MAF on a 10-11" section of straight pipe was the easier way of doing it.

Hi Kenny, haven't heard from you in awhile! Things are going well, finally got the STi up and running. Yeah, Steve definitely does some amazing stuff, you should see the M5 headers he's working on
