im currently running a q45 afm with a power fc pro and the car wont idle or run properly at all, ive also tried a z32 and i get the same problem, but when i install the standard gtir afm it runs sweet?? my conclusion is that if u look at a standard afm the element is sheilded from airfolw so to speak its designed to let air pass through it but not back up it as the element or hotwires if u like are protected in another channel. im thinking that the turbo is pushing air back up the inlet pipe to the afm and causing them to go mental, so i think the problem is with the design of the q45 and 300zx afms anyone come accross this problem before or even better know a way round it? thanks.

Sounds to me like the sensor type selection may be wrong??

Ive seen guys who mounted the AFm too close to the turbo inlet suffer running issues. The AFM was approx half way down the inlet pipe between filter and turbo inlet. Dunno how you have it fitted

ive aslo heard about this so i increased to inlet pipe length by a silly amount so it was sticking out of the car to see if it made any difference and yes it was better but still not good enough for my tuner to map it. thanks for the reply matey.
