Re: MAF sensors, tuning, etc? questions

one more thought is the MAF placement. Ideally it needs to be in a straight run of tubing. If you have bends it seems to "mess" with the readings.
I swapped to SD tune and moved my IAT into the piping when I went turbo. Might have been able to get away with the MAF but with the 2 bar SD I can tune into boost and works very well. I did keep my front O2 sensors and still have the computer make adjustments based off those during "normal" driving.

all that said if you have a good straight piping run and don't have FI then the MAF works great.
