I've always heard that the OBD-I cars don't like having the MAF in-line like that? How well is yours running?

i am still debating what HG to go with when i go boost.

i dont plan on going high HP numbers, something in the 450 range

i believe 1.3mm is the thickness. I really do think it is a very good option because I did not lose much driveability/low end power so it still spools the turbo nicely.

All the parts are holding up awesome. I have put around 1000 miles on the install and everything is great.

As for the pricetag...shiiiit... I am really not sure. probably a few grand when all was said and done.

I am currently pushing 9.5psi of boost through the MAF and it is working very well! I am having some problems tuning the AFC in to get proper AF's when at partial throttle and hitting boost, but low throttle and full throttle is working awesome!

I'm really glad to hear that. Is it still the stock SC300 MAF or did you upgrade to the V8 MAF?

What are your settings like on the AFC? After looking into it a bunch I don't touch my low throttle settings at all. Mine are set for 95% throttle and above (basically WOT only) and it works great, and for 0-94 I just let it go at whatever the computer says, and at least on a mildly modded NA car it works absolutely perfect.

The reason for that is from what I understand the computer will autocorrect the low throttle settings over time and that can affect the high throttle settings as well. At WOT it goes into open loop and I haven't seen my AFR's change at all as time goes by except for a little depending on weather.

Sorry didn't see this post... well once you go boosted the settings change drastically, because if you are full throttle and hitting full boost at 3500rpm you can be over doubling the factory hp/torque, so you will need double the fuel(basically), and when the turbo is pumping in all that extra air the last thing you want to do it lean out. I forget my exact settings but any rpm range where there can be boost its cranked way up. at idle and low throttle driving its cranked way down because of the larger fuel injectors.
