I have a Mac CAI and there is a bend right before the MAF. Has anyong ever heard of Air turbulance from the CAI affecting the MAF sensor?

I was looking into getting a TwEEcer to solve my Idleing issue and the guys at TwEEcer said it could be that.

Just curious.. never heard of that..

Any input would be helpfull..

Yes, that's a known problem. Either lose the CAI, or clock the MAF -- try putting the sensor itself on the outside of the radius of the turn the CAI makes.

Yep, what happens is the curve makes the incoming air have different velocities at different areas within the pipe, by "clocking" the MAF you can find a "neutral" spot where the air won't confuse the MAF.

I never had any idleing issues with my MAC cold air intake. My car ran like a champ with it in there.

Correct me if im wrong but for the fenderwell CAI's isnt there one thats for those with a aftermarket MAF and those with the stock MAF. I dont know about the 94-95's but the 93's stock MAF is shorter than say a Bullit MAF

I am going to take the filter and bend off and run it to see what happens.. if that fixes my issue I will just removed the bend.. we'll see..
