i got bored at work so i decided i would delete my MAF housing

Hi Pete, just passing by and wondered how you'd you go with this MOD? I really want to do it myself, is there perhaps any pointers or measurements you can swing my way? Thanks.

[mk3pete]

its 3'' stainless tube and the smaller tube didn't quite fit tight enough so i used a larger o ring on the sensor
for measurements iv forgotten what everything was exactly
you just have to take the sensor out and see what size tubing would fit, and then make sure its the right length so its in the middle of the 3'' tube

bit of an update today
thought id share what iv done in the last few months and where it will be going in the future

rear wiper delete
also deleted bottom plastic bits...wat ever you call them
i do have a tow cover on just not in that pic

the day i got my wheels






what a bitch of a job to install the phenolic spacer.... everything went wrong
all 3 bolt holes stripped thats holds the belt tensioner on (first pic)
lucky i had some spare exhaust studs M8 that were longer than the oem bolts
found one of my leads was broked had to jb weld it back on
all this the day before DOVW.......
i done a lot of wire neatening at the same time.
i used self amalgamating tape, great stuff really easy to use and comes up a treat.
i used two rolls of the stuff, got it from autobarn 16 bucks each but worth it.

also done the IAT relocate

no pics but today i installed neuspeeds lightweight pully kit
crank (massive difference in weight also slightly underdriven)
power steering (slightly larger than oem makes up the difference in the crank)
alternator
and gruven parts
tensioner pully and waterpump pully
very big difference in acceleration
future plans are to get it dyno tuned with this
www.lugtronic.com
also bigger exhaust and these

have you managed to get in touch with lugtronic to see if their ECUs work properly on our cars? If so I reckon it would be a pretty nifty setup

[mk3pete]

but it does state it works for early obd1 vr6

[Tim]

bugger! Ill have to go past the warehouse and pick one up in the morning. Its not far from the meet point so it shouldnt be a hassle.
