Alright so ive got some questions about MAF.

First of all, im going to be running an intercooled procharger setup with the 3 inch pipe and I was told by my tuner that its not a good idea to run a 3 inch pipe into the 90mm MAF cause the MAF is bigger than the 3 inch pipe and the sensor is at the top of the meter so it wont get a propor reading when I start boosting.


is it possible to use the LMAF sensor in the stock housing? and would this keep it from pegging?

I was told to use the stock MAF and get an extender...is this my best option?

Well its not really a good setup, Get rid of the LMAF and get a MAF from VMP tuning. I actually run the L MAF in the 3" piping. I lost some range with the smaller pipe, so a MAFia went on and its worked so far. It was the cheapest method.

ok...im confused..so you bought the 3 inch pipe from vmp tuning and you run the LMAF sensor in that pipe you bought...what do you mean get a MAF from vmp tuning?

But you still needed the mafia to fix the range so it could handle more than like 300 whp.


Whats the benefit of using the 3 inch pipe instead of the extender and stock MAF?

is the 05 style sensor worth upgrading to...I have been told it is better for the blow through

I listed 2 options. VMP tuning sells an awesome blowthough MAF, kinda expensive but pretty much the last one you will ever need

2nd option, I picked up a 3" pipe off of ebay, this is about 12" long maybe 18" and made my own MAF housing. I removed the LMAF from its housing, picked up the MAF flange adapter from VMP and installed that onto my 3" piping. Becasue I put the pipe into the smaller housing, I had to put a range extender on it. You could just pick up a Flange adapter and put it into your stock procharger pipe, and put an extender on that MAF, I am at 412whp with more to go on the MAF extender around 820 ad counts

Use all this with your current hardware and retune.

My tuner wants me to use the 05+pmas in a 3 inch tube with an extender.

Supposedly the PMAS is the best for blow through applications.

I think thats what im going to do...

hmm I might just buy thar PMAS sensor the HPX one and put that in a 3 inch tube...its supposed to be good till like 600 whp.

Sounds better than paying 100 for an extender and another 80 or for a pmas sensor.
