im wondering though,if the maf goes bad now,is there an easy way to only replace the sensor?You have to buy a new maf,rip it apart and use the sensor to replace only?

You do, but its not a big job at all.

DJones, have you got any specific details or BTDT on how the pipe was made and what size pipe was it made with?

I'm curious since a few cars are now popping up with this install.

Hi Jamo

The pipe is 3" stainless steel, exhaust left overs.

I started by getting some "L" section angle iron from B&Q of all places. I then mitred the corners and welded it together to make a square the perfect size for the MAF to screw to. this square box then had a down stand or skirts (if that makes sense) i then ground the skirts until it matched the radius of the pipe.

I then cut a perfectly sized hole for the MAF to pass though in to the pipe. Following this i welded the square box that had been ground to the shape of the pipe to the pipe its self.

This provided a perfectly square platform to screw the MAF to whilst holding the MAF central to the tube.

I then drilled and tapped the square flat platform to screw the MAF in place (with a gasket of course) once the MAF is in place you need to fill the electronic part with epoxy resin as the electrical area is not air tight, not at 2bar in anycase...

The rest of the tube is just tig welded together to the correct radius and length etc to join both intercoolers together. I welded a small bead around the ends (under the Silicone pipe) to stop them blowing off.

Sprayed the finished job with a blast of 2 pack silver hey presto job done and works a treat..

Hope that all makes sense..
