MAF w/no honeycomb? do you run one?
Ok, so my cars been sitting in my garage for 6 months now and I'm about at the point where I need to fix it or sell it. Two weeks after I had my car tuned it started to break up really bad. After asking around on the forums about what it could be most pointed toward my MAF. When I had the car tuned we took out the honeycomb because we were worried the larger turbo would suck it down. How bad is this for our MAF? Has anyone else had issues with their maf after removing theirs? Are there any options for someone running a stock ecu to use a different MAF? I've heard somthing about a GM MAF converter but am not sure what this entails or if its right for me. I need a setup that will pass emmissions.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.

I'd also say run speed density rather than bother with cutting out the honeycomb. At 500+hp, I've seen cars "suck in" the honeycomb. It rarely makes it to the turbo but yes it gets crumpled and close to getting sucked through.

I don't know why the turbo would suck the MAF honeycomb in, but it is possible to tune it without it. Our Camaro runs a large GM style MAF without the honeycomb, and the only sacrifice is some drivability. It flows the same at WOT, but at part throttle, air speed may be affected past the sensor. It's mostly harder for the tuner, but not that much different for the driver from what I have experienced.

Yes sir. Speed density on the stock ecu is all the rage now. Most tuners offer conversions and tuning services for it. It's become very popular.

Alot of the local Evo guys Have told me to stay away from Topspeed. Seems like their track record isnt that great. I've been there twice for minor issues which they fixed but they seem more geared for Subies than Evo's

If it gives you any idea to send my car open trailer from Manhattan, KS to Buschur Racing in Wakeman, Oh (About 900miles) is around $600.
