Good day,
What are my options( or solutions) to this situation. I'm finishing my build of turning my 93 N/A into a turbo with a different engine set up. I've completed the 2G 7 bolt head onto the 91 1G 6 bolt block. This has a 2G intake manifold. How can I connect either a 2G MAF sensor or modify my original 1G N/A MAF sensor to my N/A wire harness to run the now turbo engine. Yes I have a 1G FWD ECU.

Are you running a tuning solution? I assume you mean 1g turbo ecu. You need to choose parts based on your ability to use them. Easiest solution is 1g turbo maf with 1g turbo ecu. Your lower IC pipe is also too close to the radiator. You may rub a hole in either the pipe or radiator as motor moves.

A 2G or 3G/EVO MAF (#399 or #482) would be the best option performance wise. Fitting the appropriate connector to your wire harness is easy and well documented. The main issue is that the turbo MAFs have a "reset" wire that the NT MAF does not, and therefore is not present in your NT wire harness. Solving that is a relatively simple matter of adding a wire from the MAF connector to the turbo ECU.
 
Thank you, I actually have a 2G MAF and a 2G harness I can pull from. so I will look for the info I need to connect it . Much appreciated.
 
So either a 1G Turbo MAF, or ECMLink and one of the other MAFs, or something like a SAFC and a 2G MAF. There are other possibilities but they have drawbacks without sigificant advantages until you're looking at much greater mods to the engine.
