I've always been told that the MAF should be larger then the TB.

What diameter inlet will the new intake be? match the TB and EGR Spacer to the same size as the Upper Intake Inlet (i.e. all should be 70mm or 75mm) and yes the MAF always should be at least 3-5mm larger than the TB/EGR Spacer/Inlet, i'd reccomend a 70mm TB/EGR and a 76mm MAF from c&l, a 73mm is also available but limited to tuning and injector capability.

i would get the 65 inlet, 65 tb , 70 meter

if you plan on making more than 400 hp, then go bigger, but too big now and you will lose air velocity that is more important than air volume.
