2g MAF Translator Install for cars running DSMlink (blow-thru setup)

Here is the simple install of a MAFT for blow-thru use. When using DSMlink the white and purple wire are not used. So cut them shorter and tape the ends off (I tucked the 2 wires under the MAFT when I mounted it to the firewall).

All you need to do is plug the connector from the translator into the stock MAS plug, make sure the pink wire from the translator lines up with the red wire on the stock MAS plug.

The other plug goes to the actual GM MAS.

Pull your stock MAS plug from the stock location back to where it comes out of the main engine harness. Then point it towards the firewall.
I am going to attach pics to show where to mount the MAFT and how to run the wires so they are all tucked away nicely.
