    The amount of wrong info in this thread is staggering...

    you can move it all you want, but sealing it is going to be another issue.
    The maf itself is VERY VERY sensitive to changes in orientation, or even the tubing that connects to your throttle body (screens limit this phenomenon). "sealing" it is really not an issue at all.

    if youre doing it because you want to smooth out the throttle body, dont even bother.
    There is quite a bit of room to be gained in the throttle body by boring it out in the maf area... there is tons of junk cramped up there. if you have a 97/98 TB you have tons of gains going to a 99 style maf, and porting the TB accordingly.

    Worth it? Only if your cammed and running a tiny pulley. Gains? None.
    Having installed many onto mostly lightly modded setups... I can say this is quite false. The m90 is deathly dependent on intake flow enhancements.

    Bigger= Higher ceiling.
    True, but by a 2% margin.... You are much better off going to another style of maf to gain head room over stock as LQ4's are nearly the same as stock when it comes to peak flow limits.

    Lightly modded...right.

    But would you put an aftermarket MAF/Larger TB on a stock car?

    Probably not.

    So what your telling me is the LQ4 reads the same freq as the L67 Maf given the same exact setups? WHen I say Higher ceilings I invision going to the Lq much like when I went from a stock L36 tb to a l67 the maf freq droped about 300 Hz. (the L36 gets like .021 grams of air a sec and the GTP .024 GPS). I dont have any experiance with Lq4's But I could see the fact that its in a much larger part of the intake the Freq would drop even further and give you a much Higher ceiling. So if you were hitting 11,500 on a l67 you might be around 10,000 on the lq4. Am i not correct?
