unless you are planning on going with some kinda FI or are gona build a seriouse N/A engine there is not point in getting one. Any increase you get will me minimal and wont even be noticeable. plus you need a re-tune to run it. spent the money elsewhere.

No you do noty need the MAF nor will you pick up anything with it except hassles. You'd need a new custom tune to get it to work really right. Then you'd have a MAF that is way over capacity. You always want to choose a MAF where you use about 80% of its range other wise you lose low end resolution.
