His fueling issues are speed-based, not RPM based.

ah, thanks for clearing that up for me. That's weird.
How good/what whp are the stock MAFs good for?

Depends how large of a pipe you have it in. Once you max out the MAF (5.0v) in the stock 2.75" MAF-housing you can step up to a 3 or 3.5". The downside of doing that is less resolution meaning idle and low-speed drivability can suffer. My car is pretty much at the limit for the stock housing, I max it out during long 5th gear pulls into the higher RPM's.

Hotwire MAFs, like the Evo X has are very prone to being messed up by air blowing at them from things like radiator fans or the intake snorkle in Chris's case.

oh god, you said hotwire maf.

That made my stomach turn a bit, i messed with one back in the day with the PMS system on a dsm. :(

Yea..again, the the issue is that on the street, the car goes leaner than on the dyno. On the dyno the car is tuned to mid-11's and on the street AFRs jumped to high 12's/low 13's. Adding this shield seems to have fixed this, I'm super happy!

Picked up my emergency CMC backup kit from MAP today!

OEM CMC, AMS reinforcement ring, and brake fluid. This will go on the shelf to be swapped in whenever the time comes :)

Hopefully never...

When the time comes, I can come help. I have that install down now :)

This should be a lot quicker than what you went through though...if I'm reading the manual right, I don't have to remove the brake cylinder or anything, the stocker just twists into place. I hope it's just that easy (albeit a massively cramped place).

I wouldn't believe that at all. Look at your car today, lol. They do twist in but I have no idea how you would get your hand back there at all. Seems almost impossible, but part of the issue I had was the hard line and banjo bolt so close to the brake booster.

Who knows, maybe it can be done, I'll believe it when I see it haha.
