I think thats crazy. why would anyone want to put an air box on a car that is already MAF sensitive if the tuning program he has was not tuned for it. how is the ecu going to understand the extra info(air).
And IM not saying anything that its the tuners fault... cause its not... they dont make u buy a vflow with satge 2 program... we act like little kids buying everything that comes out... without reason and end goals...
Buy a kit that was tuned with all the parts on it... or a kit that can be tuned for what u already have...
I never had the vflow and never blew a single maf. I had 4 ecus and 3 different turbo kits...

I might do a real good suspension setup to see how i like the car then, maybe take it from there with engine upgrades.

Just wanted to clarify those 2 things and make sure you weren't misguided!
