Yes, I like Al's suggestion to you about going to something like the 3" or 3.5" GM MAF in a case like yours. That combined with a VSR intake should unlock a few more MPH.
But, it would be just an interim solution, since you'll eventually be going to the HTA 35R won't you? In which case you'll be wanting a standalone anyway. Good Luck

I wish they would build a larger bolt on turbo. That's one thing I liked about my STI. There are a ton stock location bolt on turbos to choose from compared to what we have.

Most likely in the case of the Green, the restrictiveness of the MAF was not taken into account when calculating mass air flow through the compressor. It would have required testing the MAF to arrive at an intake restriction value.

Sparky, without question. We're flowing as much as as the MAF can flow under wot. If we could gain anything, it's just going to be in the minor dips. If you think about it, David hit the 449 mark (can't remember exactly from dynosheet) and we hit 445. Just don't think the turbo will flow much more, let alone the maf. Since the turbo is 47lbs wheel, that doesn't leave much for loss to the wheels if you calculate it at 10.5 hp per lb of air. No doubt the maf restriction is already there on the green.

Yes, absolutely NO doubt on a well equipped GT35r car the power gains from switching to the AEM EMS, Power FC or any other stand alone over the stock computer is going to reap HUGE gains in horsepower. I was speaking ONLY of Tom's car since that is the topic of this thread.

Pushing the stock ECU... do we think that the limitation is the MAF sensor (airflow restriction and/or granularity at high airflow) or the presently non-configurable knock control pulling timing too early?
