yeah i forgot that i would have to get it tuned after i put the MAF and TB on. good call. i'll wait then. thanks
You won't necessarily need to get a tune ro chip after installing the MAF and TB. As long as the MAF is calibrated for the proper size injectors then it will "trick" the computer into supplying the correct amount of fuel on it's own. If you're just tossing in a TB and a matched MAF, then I wouldn't bother with a tune. If you're doing the H/C/I at teh same time, then tune away

samseed, your explanations are flawless. i knew you'd jump in

Well this was an easy one.. It gets complicated when I have to explain how a calibrated MAF tricks the computer into working properly. That can be confusing as hell if you've never dealt with them before. That makes it rather difficuot to explain.
