Suggestions to make a "fake" MAF pipe?

[Jonas_R]

I changed to VEMS a while back and since it does not use the MAF I want to have a fake in place.

My first idea was to chop up a broken one but that is not going to well at the moment.

So any other suggestions to how this could be done. I would like to retain a stock look, so a stainless steel pipe or similar is out of the questions.

Looking forward to some inputs?

just take out the main mechanism and replace and seal the cap. it should work i guess

Huh, just let anyone who is handy with milling make you a a correct replacement.
It's a 10 minute job.

I dont want a steel replacement if that is what you meant by getting it milled?

I could of course get something milled that could replace the inner part of MAF.

cant you just cut the maf element off so that you basically just have a plastic pipe with a connector on the top

Agreed with above - sell your good old MAF for some cash and replace it with a dead one that has had its internals removed. As long as its airtight you are good.

possible restriction?

Dead MAF and remove the element.

Dead MAF and remove the element.

Thats what I did. i also want the engine department stock looking!

Disassembled a dead MAF, removed all the bits that sticks into the MAF pipe, and put it together.

Think it increased the flow a tiny bit, had to enrichen at low speed/load. Have some pics of the "butchering" on my home pc.
