2G MAS vs EVO MAS

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I had both the Evo and 2G MAS and I went with the 2G MAS just because I knew the mapping for it and I didn't want to figure out how to keep that honeycomb from falling out at the wrong time and blowing the car up.

I don't know why the MAFT are/were so popular. They are always on some car that doesn't actually need it, the damn 2G MAS has gone 9s, and it's usually on some car that could have used that $250 toward something like cams, or intake manifold, or a decent external gated turbo, or something that would actually make the too big turbo on the car make more power than a 16G.

MAF-Translator anyone?

Word on the street is leave them on GM motors cause they thats what they work on.

You can hack a 2g MAF also, is the 60 lb/min with it hacked? I had a hacked one quite a while ago and it was fine with just a 5 knob SAFC :D I took out the bottom screw, cut off the protrusion for the screw, cleaned up the extra plastic hanging over the honey comb and thinned out and pointed the webbed pieces. It did make a difference as I had to richen up the SAFC and there still weren't idle problems.

Ok. I really liked mine, it seemed to do a good job at doing what it was supposed to do.

I have the 3.5 inch MAFT on my car in draw thru, no complaints here. I have it's internal settings 0'ed and use DSMLink to tune it.

It will be really nice if DSMLink V3 comes with the ability to "plug and play" the GM MAF without the translator.

Cause then you can vent your bov dogg!

Oh yeah, I'll have to figure that one out. Kinda tough to vent a big Tial BOV back into the intake. I'm sure it won't be too tough to tune around that, I can't be without my WHOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[A//// Guy]

My MAF-translator worked awesome as well. I liked having it in blow thru for cleaner install, as well as not having a MAF on my intake for my cold air setup...

To each there own.

I liked the Maf-t for the VTA thing, but if I had to do it again I'd probably just stick with a 2G mas. Like shane said, the $$ could go for a nice set of cams or other misc mods to help make more power.

It supposed to also have the ability to use just speed density as well.

Aaron all I was saying about hacking, was that conversion file that they had posted up in that thread that you were talking about, was the setting you would use if you were to remove the 2 lower honeycombs. The FakeMaf function has worked pretty well for plenty of people, and is what I plan on doing with my new setup.

As for the 60lb/min, that's what I've heard the EVO MAS's will meter up to. That's all hearsay. I have no clue at what level a 2g MAS pins at, but isn't it at something like 2800hz, whatever that translates to? I just know that once I see I've pinned it, it's time to check the little FakeMas box :)
