get a W-B o2, they are well worth the money when it comes to getting it right and not spending a year to do it. Without a W-B you could be bad lean at WOT, I was and it cost me.

A MAF car is not that hard to tune if you have the right tools from the start.

Read the stickies untill you know them by heart, then read them again.

It is always better to start with a stock BIN. Then tune from there. As you mentioned you and no-one here knows what was changed.

Work on getting the data logging up and running. Then start with a stock BIN and make changes for injector flow fans and what-not. Then tune from there.
