Default MAF/Computer

If I want to convert my 88 to MAF, will I need a new computer or can it work from my stock 88 computer?

You need a computer, a MAF with the right calibration for your injectors and a very minor wire-in kit for the MAF sensor.

Alrigth thanks alot, Do you know of the best place to get the right computer. I was looking on ebay, but im kinda worried about getting a used computer from ebay. How much do new ones run, I dont have much money and need to convert to MAf. Thanks again and if any one could tell me the right computer I need to convert a 88 to MAF would be great, thanks again.

Do not buy thoes maf conversiion kits, your spending 4 times the amount you need to , go to a junkyard and pick up a computer there, also try ebay, if you have a 5 speed , the A9L comp works great.

I'd get a larger than stock MAF calibrated for whatever inj's you're using....you'll be paying 2x when you decide to do it later if you go w/ stock size MAF
