[s-cars] MAF screen removal-please explain

[Bjørn Ødegård]

Hmm.. As we're (almost) all running more boost than the engine needs or
can cope with, (the WGFvalve do its job on all our Audis I hope!?) I
honestly think we're searching for something that isn't really there.
even if the MAF _is_ 20% narrower than the actual tubing with the
screens intact, the turbo compressor housing input diameter isn't. (Have
anyone measured it for a quick comparison?) Are there any _measured_
advantages running w/o mesh?
I fully agree, the spool-up time and lo end power could be ever so
slightly improved, but then again, a 7B EX cam and ball bearing turbo
would be much better still..
I have a hard time figuring out why anyone will sacrifice the MAF thread
for some suspicious kWs, especially in the low- end range.
Run with MAF screens and paper filter should be the conclusion. (Not
that I have more than a little clue of what I'm talking about..;o))

Oh shit! Really have to order some cheap euro car parts from the US
soon, anyone know where timingbelt/pump/exhaust/gasket-stuff is cheap?
Blau? Zygmunt? Scott?)
