Is a MAF sensor needed on N/A GT or can you stay with factory and it will be fine or will you get gains from an aftermarket?

I believe it is a total waste of money to change out MAF. IMHO you absolutely do not need it.

Factory is fine for an NA GT.

Agreed, agreed!!! Most aftermarket MAFs simply lean the motor out to make power. A good tune can do the same, but much more consistently and safely.
