"Hacking the MAF??"

**1ViciousGSX** · 01-30-2005

If I remember correctly, the 1g mas doesn't respond as well as the 2g mas to the hacking. Doesn't want to run well. But I could be wrong on this.

Well that is two against...anyone else who had a "good" experience with the 1g hack?

Yes, it can work well, but it takes a lot of fiddling, tuning and only hacking out the correct amount. If you plan on making 450whp or less, then just throw on a stock 2G MAS, they work perfect and don't require much tuning. If you plan on making more than that, then a hacked 1G MAS can work, but if your at that power, you should probably just do a MAFT or speed density setup anyways. If you aren't experiencing MAF overrun now, then you can just stick with your current setup for the time being.

This is what I have on the car now...not much but a good start considering it came with the car and I paid $2000 for it...

A list of the current "mods":
16g Big Turbo
2g Throttle-boby
EVO III Exhaust manifold
Full 2.75" Exhaust (Downpipe through to exhaust)
K&N on stock snorkle and 1g MAF
Buschur Intercooler to throttle pipe
Manual Boost Controller
A/F Gauge & Boost on the pillar
ACT 2600 Clutch set

If you hack your 1G MAS you will be able to run more boost without hitting fuel-cut, but your car will idle like poo.
