Dont waste your money on an aftermarket MAF. You gain, if your lucky, at most 1-2hp from an aftermarket MAF. The stock MAF will hook directly up to the blackwing. It will be the blackwing, MAF, air bridge, throttle body, then intake.

Why do you want to buy a new MAF sensor? Is there something wrong with the one on the car now? If not, don't waste your money on another one or an aftermarket one. You will not notice any gain in HP and you could possibly cause it to run worse

I plan on buying this upgrade as well
As for all of the people who don't agree with this mod I still have yet to see ONE person that ACTUALLY bought it and installed it and had problems. I am not saying it isn't possible but no one on here yet.
As for the mod I think it is worth trying just for a couple of reasons.
One being the the same old saying is true ..More Air= More Power. This would eliminate at least one bottleneck and the claims that it will flow over 1000cfm vs stock six hundred and something.
Two...If it doesn't work....Simply install your MAF sensor back into the original housing and wow...You are out of 30 or 40 dollars. I don't see any reason why it could possibly hurt.
I know there has been discussion about the screen removal of a MAF sensor...I understand that the fins route the proper air flow over the sensor so maybe this could be some kind of a problem to look into.
I would love to hear how it goes for you and goodluck!!
