Personally, I don't think that a GM hotwire MAF gives much (if any) restriction at all. So it is a toss-up between it and speed density.

But then again, I'm still running a bone stock 2G DSM MAF.

Oh, no doubt.. my Maf setup isn't quite a GM one, its actually a hybrid but the intake pipes are a bigger restriction than the sensor.. thats for certain..

And your right about those components.. Hence why I'm trying everything possible to retain the stock turbo and make some good power.. I chose to take the "path less traveled" with my combo.. when you see some of the newest stuff I'm working on (which I can't post yet) you'll understand what I mean.

And the other post about the spool.. I found that I get about 2800rpm spool now.. it seems to have dropped when I put on the new downpipe, cat and exhaust, also with the stock solenoid I was regularly getting 21psi of boost tapering to 18psi without any boost control mods.. though the upgraded intercooler dropped that back down to where I was stock..
