The MAF engine has two big metal airflow meters attached to the airbox. Frankly this is seriously outdated tech and needs to be scrapped! Not only does it restrict the airflow significantly but cant handle any changes to the engine . I have a quite heavily modded engine (bored to 3.1, cam, valves etc) and ran it on this management but it was essentially useless. Ran dangerously lean at the top end (also cos the injectors are too small) and couldnt adapt.
If you really want to make the most of the engine, scrap the stock stuff and put in a custom ECU. I have a megasquirt (cost 150) and its made the engine awesome!
