is this the correct place to install a gm maf? i am inquiring for a friend any help or advice in this area would be appreciated.

Looks right to me.

That is the correct 'Blow Through' locale. The GM MAF can also be installed between the air filter and the turbo inlet like stock for an easier install.

Personally I would prefer blow through but my current setup is in the stock location.

exactly what I was going to say

BTW.... nice looking intercooler plumbing

thx guys,
gsx racer, i wish i could take credit for the plumb job but due to my lack of a dig. camera i just borrowed this pic from a website.
