Ok, I'll be upfront that I'm just being a bit of a Devil's Advocate here. I like the MAFT and from what I hear, I'll probably end up owning one. I've plowed through most of the DSMtalk threads on it too. But, just to cause trouble I'll ask the following from those of you that have it.
Anyone have any concrete dyno numbers or even track numbers and actual gains from this mod? Before and after improvements? I know the 3.5 in flows like the Mississipi in and of itself but when you neck down to the throttle body is all that flow lost and even disturbed by all the steps to get it to mate up? The 2G MAS looks to be pretty close to a 3" MAS flowing more or less straight through. Although tuneable, can it match the increments of the SAFC in terms of fine tuning? Granted, everyone who's bought one seems to love it. I'm just wondering if anyone's truly dialed it in on the Dyno and done a side by side with the 'old' SAFC 2G mas combo. OK, flame suit is on. Time to endure the punishment of the translators. ![]() -------------------- |

Granted the flow numbers are much higher for the MAS itself, but will it flow as much when necked down to the size of the piping it is attached to (especially in the case of the 3.5")?
This is where I follow with the really dumb question: If using it in draw through form, isn't the turbo still 'sucking' through the resistance of the MAS? I've tried studying the set-ups but I'm a bit of an idiot so... Holy cow though I have to pay omage to the 15min install though! Very nice product there. Finally: As much as I love DSM's I do kind of miss the way the muscle car mags are constantly dyno flogging motors to get concrete numbers and direct product comparisons. Seems like it takes months before someone runs one on our cars and it's rarely even redone/ rechecked by other companies. Look at the hp numbers for Webcams that used to be on RRE's site for instance. Never saw it verified, tested or compared elsewhere yet. Anyways, enough of my newbie ranting. -------------------- |
