stock vs stock. An SD car is faster than a MAF car.

However, MAF is the way to go for those who cannot tune SD (which not very many people can)

SD is a much more complicated system, where as MAF does alot of the calculations FOR you, and generally is more accurate with changing climates, alititues, and driving conditions.


Just do the swap, you will be happy about it later!

is it worth the money though? the tuning isnt a problem i know a guy who can tune it for me
the cheapest i found was 225 for the complete harness wit the A9L ECU...which means id have to buy a new intake along wit the MAF sensor
