If it works it works, just be careful with that ribbed sort of flex pipe. When ipcheck (former member here) did a full wastegate dump tube using that ribbed flex pipe, the ribs in the tube created so much turbulence in the dump that it couldn't flow the dumped exhaust gasses properly. They backed up in the piping and caused a boost spike.

Just be careful when using that stuff.

I was being sarcastic...
Now are you being sarcastic?
The MAF works fine, I've tried it on my car.
Do some tests or switch one out with a friend. If that's your problem I'll hook you up.

alright, my maf was actually acting up today.

According to alldata, at idle, my MAF voltage reading should be between 1.1 - 1.5 volts. Instead my reading was .4-.6 volts. That cant be right, right? Also, at WOT, my MAF voltage hit 3.~ at like 5k rpm.

Well anyways, i took it for a drive today and kinda slammed gears at WOT, and the car went into limp mode. So i took it in, took of the MAF and sprayed it with brake cleaner and blew it dry. Put it back on, and beat the hell outta my car and wouldnt go into limp mode. Idk what coulda been wrong. The MAF wasnt dirty, i just cleaned it for the sake of cleaning.

Also, i came to find out today that my oil return line was busted and i was gushing out oil everywhere and thanx to the weld breaking on my pevious TN pipe, part of my fan case was melted, just the edge of the case. the fans are untouched but if driven any longer, it woulda melted the fans.

other than that, i just pray to god my car doesnt go into limp mode when im driving down the track. hahah.

Dammit, my car did it again. I can't take this anymore. Street Wars are in 3 weeks. I need this up and running.

Also, like the other guy said about this deletion of maf through his EMS, is that only possible through standalone or can i do that with a utec.

Need a standalone, the UTEC needs the MAF since it still utilizes the factory ECU.

Alright upon quick research, i found that ems doesnt make a wire harness for our cars. Haltech seems to be well known and used. IM kinda leaning towards the HKS fcon vpro. Any comments on this particular system?
