VTA with a MAF Translator?

I was wondering if anyone was using a product like this to Vent their blow off valve to atmosphere. Just wondering if it works well and what else the MAF translator would do, and if there are any other gains. Is it worth buying this or just to recirculate the Blow off valve? Thanks

Look at www.TTP-Engineering.com these guys run the MAFT Pro and you can go speed density with it. They are the experts as far as I know on the MAFT.

Why not just run a BOV that only partially vents to air and recirculates the rest? Like the GFB Stealth FX that lancershop.com sells?

a translator is a waste of money if your only interest is to VTA a blowoff valve..

The translator and other similar blowthrough MAF or Speed density products eliminate the possible problems you can have with a stock MAF...

Your car would have to be making over 500whp for it to be something worth considering. I have made significant gains using an aftermarket blowthrough sensor, even with the stock turbo, HOWEVER the vta aspect was never at any point a consideration point for doing this..

If your question for running a product is really "can I VTA with this" then your considering it for the wrong reasons and you will not be happy as it takes time to get it working right.
