diference in GM MAF and stock MAF

[Big B]

i plan on gettin a new VRSF FMIC this week and it has the option to add on a 3" GM MAF whats the differnce between that and the MAF that comes stock? would it be worth getting?

You can vent to the atmosphere, a logger would be nice to have with it, i had it sold it got link, for the cost and stuff, i would pass it and run stock, or get link thats just me lots will have ideas or opionons.

I think the biggest difference is being able to ventilate your bov to the atmosphere.

Please do some searching there is info on this subject everywhere on here.

gm maf allows you to do a "blow thru" setup. stock maf is pull thru. ie, the turbo is blowing air through the maf. or pulling it in through the maf. you can have leaks before the maf but not after. also the gm maf can handle reading more airflow. the stock maf is pretty limited even more so on a 1g.

For 150-200 you can get a nice condition gm maf setup. for 150 you can get a new Speed Density setup on dsmlink. The ultimate tuning goal for 90% dsmers is dsmlink. waaaayyy better than any safc. almost as good as standalone, very simple and plenty of support. you should hold out for now.

If anything, ask vsrf if they will tap a bung for a GM IAT sensor, and plug it until you get the SD setup.

Got all mine for 375 shippped 7 years ago everything it did help while i learned to tune, got link never looked back, the maft wasnt bad.

Unless you have the urge to vent your BOV (or need to because you stupidly bought one that can't be recirculated and didn't know it), stick with the stock MAS. I'm going to guess, since your profile isn't filled out, that you don't have a large enough turbo to overrun the stock MAS. This will make tuning much easier as the GM MAF can be finicky.



And it's draw thru, not pull thru

I used the maft, during the winter had issues with my my gm sensor, i got lots of codes not sure why. Had to get rid of of as i learned, more about ecmlink.
