MAF Sensors Placement

[John Hess]

My first inclination would be at the inlet.  This represents the 
actual air volume being let into the intake system at the actual 
temperature.  The measurement (provided the MAF is able to measure 
this volume) should be most representative of the actual volume of air 
consumed by the engine.

In turbocharged or supercharged systems should the MAF sensor be 
placed at
the inlet, between the impeller and intercooler or between the 
intercooler
and intake manifold?  me
