Default power recovered!!

Wooo Hooooo!!!! So I started a thread about finding lost power, and have been replacing **** to try to get to the heart of my problems. Well, after replacing all coil packs, looking for boost leaks, changing my plugs, I finaly get around to buying a new MAF(67k miles). First of all, HOLY ****! My car has NEVER run this smooth. I had no idea I would see such an increase in performance. I'm now getting smooooooooth boost almost all the way through the revs! Before, it would only show little glimpses of power. This feels more noticeable to me than when I had my APR flash. I'm in love with my car all over again

yes. unplugged MAF makes the car resort to a different fuel map. Best way to tell if a MAF is going bad (or needs cleaning).

I've picked up multiple, relatively new MAF's off the vortex classifieds. I have 2 extra I keep just in case. Most i've ever paid for one was $60.

Yeah kinda, if you give the ecu enough time to reset itself. And I say "kinda" because I didnt notice a huge difference untill I actually put my new one on there.
