Re: Maf-ends (Finnish Vette)
98's run a little richer than the 99-01. You should be ok to do the MAF Ends. You really should run an Autotap afterwards though. Maybe someone in your area can help. I love the MAF ends!!

Re: Maf-ends (carpe dm)
You need an Autotap and a MAFT to get past that point. It's just running so lean you need to help the PCM out. Keep trying. You'll be suprised!!!!
This will freak a lot people out but here it goes..............
I felt nothing with Powerloader compared to running the BPP MAF ends and a MAFT! I have a 6 speed.
The car is running like it did in the winter with 40 and 50 degree temps. (I live in Florida) :D

Finnish. My 98 went lean on the Halltech 76mm maf ends (stock is 74mm). No airfoils either. I think with those airfoils you will not go as lean. BUT you should get a AUTOTAP to check.

Re: Maf-ends (intel55)
I'm having the same problem with my 98. I installed the Haltech and everything was OK..Now I installed the TPIS headers and the codes are being thrown. What did you do to solve this problem? Seems to be running slower with the headers than before? Thanks!! George

Re: Maf-ends (Finnish Vette)
I have a 98 6 speed also, I had problems with the GMS MAF, but after changing to the Bpp, my car ran much stronger. I think the 97/98's ran much richer than the latter cars, and these MAF's lean the mixture out a bit.

Re: Maf-ends (3rdtoy)
My 2000 A4 with Powerloader, TPIS headers, & GMS MAF ran just fine, but lately, I felt like it was being held back slightly. I switched back to the stock MAF with screens ^ reset the PCM, and WOW! Car flys now! I'm staying with the stock MAF sensor unit with screens. Apparently the Powerloader "likes" the stock MAF unit.

Re: Maf-ends (indypace78)
When I sent my PCM to Ed Wright for programming he recommended the stock MAF. Suposidly the stock unit can handle over 400 RWH. Took my BPP ends with air foils off and the dyno chart smoothed out also.
I'm just recieved my MAFT and Auto Tap today and I'm going to AT with the stock unit and then put the BPP ends on and Tap it again just to see what happens with the readings.
See Ya :seeya

Re: Maf-ends (EasyGoin)
Wait till you see the diff. With Autotap, BPP ends and MAFT your car will run like a scalded cat!
I just completed mine. Runs better than when I added the powerloader!
