MAF too restricting?
This summer, i plan on doing some upgrades to my tpi which include a new intake manifold, runners, custum ram air induction and 52mm TB
My question is this: ive heard that the MAF can be too restrctive on tpi cars and it wont matter if you have upgraded runners, ect...
I did a search and didnt find anything, maybe i searched wrong, but is there a way to have the MAF flow better or are there aftermarket ones available?
-Thanks

this link is not the one I was thinking of, but they can modify your MAF

But i still want to ask, do you think a new higher flowing performance MAF would benefit for what i have planned for the summer? I allready have full headers and exhaust, and plus i want to do all the things i posted in the OP.
