I recently tried to install a ATR polished maf pipe to my stock maf and k&n filter cone. in doing so I noticed that one screen had been removed and the other screen torward the filter had 4 big holes poked in it like a size of a pencil. Also noticed that the maf housing is cracked and or missing a piece or two where the hose clamps on...therefore seems like it is time for a new replacement.
This is where my questions and lack of knowledge come into play.
Backing up a few steps....my car has the following upgrades/additions 86 buick gn stock internals, block...
TA49 turbo, 3" downpipe, 45# injectors, volt booster, stock intercooler, dual exhaust, stock black flex hose from turbo to stock maf to k&n cone filter. Turbotweak 5.7 chip for 93 octane, currently running 15-16 lbs boost pump gas. My plans are to add an razors alky kit in a few months or this winter, and run about 22-25 lbs of boost on pump gas.
So suggestions on what to do about maf? I have searched on here, googled, binged, asked turbo guru's etc.. just want to see what you guys have done in past and worked for you? I don't want to over complicate things and I like things simple...hence I tune with a tt chip and scanmaster...
a) should I just replace with a rebuilt stock maf from a donor car or company who sells rehabs(hard to find)
b) replace with a maf translator and lt1 or ls1 maf?? need more info on this mod if its good, bad, gains, etc...
c) do I need both screens in maf? is it hurting that one screen was removed and other holes poked in...car seems to run fine but ive heard its not good to not have correct maf readings for some add ons....
d) what is or does an alky kit require of the maf....does the alky kit come with what I need or I still need a stock maf?
basically I have owned 4 turbo regals and have never messed with anything maf, pipes to and from, filters etc...all that has usually been in working good order so I never messed with it.
any help you guys can add, suggestions, what is good bad etc..would be awesome.
thanks.
