Ok so my plenum is back together after checking everything under it. I won't be able to get back to working on my car until the following week (will be out of town this weekend).

First thing I'm going to try is putting the airbox back on and putting the MAF in it. Then I'll go from there.

 

when my intake blew off my manifold the 1st time I boosted without a tight t-clamp, the car did not run at all.

it all needs to be connected in a continuous piece
