Yes I have a MAF intake (Vitesse J-pipe).
As you can see it doesn't fit.
The Forge valve replaces a Lindsey valve. The Lindsey valve has shorter "Nipples" for the hoses to attach to.
It didn't fit 100% either, but I could get it attached.

I still have the stock J-pipe but still had to trim the J-pipe fitting a little as the Forge valve is taller than stock. I'll defer to others with MAF's to give you advice on this one, but looks like you may have to fab some custom connector hoses, maybe laying the valve on its side (?)

Thanks, David. I've got a 90deg bend. It doesn't fit. Take a look at the pic I posted.
We had 20+ buyers on this valve. Surely someone with a MAF must have tried to install their valve?

Jeg fikk begge to. Skal jeg sende deg din? Skal muligens til Oslo til mandag, men det er ikke sikkert.

How about using a 45-degree bend on the j-pipe "nipple", moving the CBV just a bit more towards the headlight?
I have two 90-degree bends on mine and it fits right where the old bosch cbv was ... the nipple on my j-pipe doesn't point straight up though like it does on your car.

I am just about done putting my car back together i have some tubes that might work so if they do i will post a pic for you and tell you the part number if you want so you can fit yours. I have a vitesse MAF also so it should fit the same
