cas951, do you know how to adjust CO mixture with this MAF ?

cas951,
If the cable is long enough I suggest you put the management box near the brake booster, below AC and brake lines. This is what we did on marcoturbo's and it may be safer than attaching it somewhere in the area of the left pop-up mechanism.
Enjoy ...

Throttle response is so much quicket and smoother.

More power? Yes. Better driveability ? Yes. Better throttle response? Yes. It's not so much that it's a lot more powerful it's you can feel the power sooner. Since I already had the chips, wastegate, FPR and boost controller ad 3 " exhaust I don't think I'm going to gain that much in power. I'm sure if I was completely stock and switched to a MAF, Chips, wastegate and exhaust I would be shocked in the power gains. I believe that whenever you switch from a stock AFM to a (any) MAF the most hp you will gain is ~ 10 or so hp and this is from eliminating the AFM which was restrictive. It's the boost that will give you HP. From my first initial drive I had my boost set to 15 psi for the stock AFM. I had to adjust my boost controller at least 3 times to keep from overboosting. That should show how the stock AFM was restricting boost buildup.

Are there any new noises? You think the stock airbox is restrictive at all? I plan to do the same thing, but I'll be tuning with an SMT, and have a cone filter. I'm very curious to see what will happen. At the moment, I have a good amount of lag, and then boost hits fast and hard. I'm hoping for some better results.

No i'm not hearing any new noises. I do hear the turbo spool slightly louder but other than that no new noises. The driveability feels great tho. I'm glad I tried it. I waited a longtime for something like this. As much as I like the looks of the other MAF i just prefer the stock look and not have to worry about our smog checks.
BTW pm me your phone and i'll call you tomorrow if you want.
