Rebuilding AFM (or going MAF) - any recommendations?
looks like i may need a rebuild of my AFM and i'm trying to determine the cost difference between a rebuild [of the AFM] and moving to an MAF. i just finished all the vacuum lines, ISV, venturi delete, ICV, TB rebuild, etc., so i don't want to replace/redo any of those components at this time. i had hoped to keep costs down and just retain the AFM, but now i'm faced with that rebuild or the added expense of an MAF system that would plug-n-play. any thoughts and/or recommendations would be appreciated.

Investment well spent IMO.

The MAF is worth every penny and really isn't THAT much more than having an AFM rebuilt and is cheaper than buying a Reman unit.
If you can drive a car with a MAF and then get back into one with the AFM you will feel like its a whole different engine.
I had to run with the AFM for a while after having the NA tune for smog and stuff and had to sort of re-learn how to drive the car because the MAF opens it up so much...

Last I heard, Josh over at Rogue Tuning stopped taking orders temporarily. I ordered my kit within a few days of that happening and haven't really heard much on the status...

do yourself one better and don't get a MAF OR rebuild the AFM..go stand alone and never look back. Megasquirt is cheap, works beautifully, and is simple to set up and tune. It was the best decision I ever made for the car.

Needless to say, I've been a bit busy and pre-occupied.
Michael, I have your kit here and will be shipping ASAP.
As soon as I am caught-up on current orders, I will be opening back up the website order page.
