    Per the instructions I send, try rotating the MAF so the connector points straight up

    I hate to break it to you.. Modding isn't cheap as I'm sure you know. $150 or so for a wideband is cheap..

    Nice flat torque curve. Actually seems higher than I would have thought with a 3.4. Did they work anything out during the runs? Is it quicker now than when you took it in?
