Default Vararam help please !

I have an 02 c5. I have installed the vararam vr-b2. I am trying to figure out the vr power duct. Does the mass air flow sensor get moved up to the throttle body?? I don't see any other way this works. Or does it stay where it was. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I ordered up one today. What are your thoughts on quality and do you feel you gained anything with it? Just curious as I wait for mine.

I actually havn't taken it out yet. It seems to be a good setup. The powerduct moved the mass airflow sensor up. I looks cleaner to me. I will let you know Tuesday. It wasn't hard to install at all though. I figure between the vararam and power duct we should get around 20 hp or so , give or take. Can't go wrong with that. It gets really expensive after this. I am going with heads and cam next.

I just put mine on a couple of days ago. Very easy to install. My MAF was moved up and now I need a retune. I had a custom intake and when I moved the MAF up to the TB, Its acting funny. Getting the tune worked out on Thursday

The only difference that I seen was it tossed up a couple codes and check engine light the first time I drove with it on. Cleared the codes and has been trouble free since.
