Up to 15 the TR6's work great. Easy to find and cheap!

What colour is the smoke? if its black it would looks like your injector cal is off or your fuel pressure is not stock, address this soon so you don't wash out the rings if infact its running so rich it won't idle. What year is the car? if your intake air temp sensor is faulty or not plugged in it will also do this. good luck.

Who's P1 kit did you install? Check and make sure that all connections, silicone hoses between the MAF and TB are not loose and letting in unfiltered air.

On the 03 the IAT sensor is part of the MAF.

The maf could be your problem, it sounds like it might be a truck maf. Do you have your original one to swap out?

As long both MAF's where 85mm(Black), it should be okay-but it wouldn't hurt to switch them out.
