Creative intake plumbing. Took me a sec of staring at the pic to comprehend the blow through AFM and BOV to atmos. Wonder just where the intercooler is?

Actually, I'm not sure why the barn-door meter wouldn't work as a blow through (at least conceptually it shouldn't matter). Further, the blow-off to atmosphere would be OK with a blow through meter because the meter is only measuring what is actually entering the engine rather than what's in the entire intake tract.

This is no different than a blow-through MAF setup.

Not sure what he was hoping to achieve by plumbing it this way though.
