gotta be a ford or equivilent unit. also must be rated for the flow you are expecting. The range is generally between 1 and 5 volts.

Yeah, the GM unit won't work because they have a frequency output as opposed to a straight voltage-range output. It also depends upon what car you're installing it into as well. The early 944NAs had different voltage-outputs on the AFM than the later cars.

Here's a guy that successfully adapted some Volvo MAF sensors: <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/scripts/rennforums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=15&t=001088" target="_blank">MAF on an NA 944</a>

On a normally-aspirated cars, the gains will be minimal. Like most NA upgrades, you're just shifting the powerband around, but not changing its size by much. Typically taking power away from the lower-RPMs and piling it up top.

On the 951s, much more significant gains can be had. Typically you want to do an MAF upgrade along with larger turbos, larger fuel-injectors, custom-programmed dyno-tuned chips, and a free-flow exhaust.
