If you run eventuri can you please check something?

Hi, standing in front of your car open the bonnet, and check if the maf sensor plug on rhs has rubbed through the fuel line under the braiding

Mine has rubbed halfway through
There is no way to orientate it to not rub
Its low pressure line that supplied hpfp

Mines very very very close. You can orientate it so it barely touches. Im sure I slightly bent the pipe or a bracket or something to move that fuel pipe a couple of millimetres to make enough difference.

Thanks, i have also moved mine slightly and shave bottom of connector off to give clearance
Not really happy with it they just had to make maf housing sit few degrees more in one direction and clears no drama

The solid pipe is stainless and cant be bent no room to work

Agreed, mine is very close as well and started to rub slightly. Thank you for pointing out this issue!
I believe the MAF connector is positioned this way to not interfere with the hood. If it's too steep, it will stick out to far and touch the hood on the inside.
Anyway, it's a nuisance and I will keep an eye on this!

I emailed evolve and their reply was they wouldnt have designed it that way

Im sorry but it wasnt thought out very well and definitely is asking for trouble
