[QUOTE="po-po 5.0, post: 12604214, member: 44534"] I think you're missing the point. Back in the Foxbody days, certain MAF manufacturers would sell you a MAF housing "calibrated" for a certain injector size that you'd drop your stock MAF electronics into. This "calibrated" housing allowed you to run larger injectors without making any changes to the ECU. It did this by having, say, a 19/39ths as large sampling tube (for 39# injectors in place of 19#ers) vs stock. This is back when MAF housings were metal, and the sampling tube was integral to the housing instead of the sensor. The OP is saying that this is a bad way to do things on modern cars...and actually it was a bad (but accepted...and people still talk about "calibrated" MAFs today) way of doing things back then. So yes...you're right, you CAN use any MAF with any size injector so long as you tell the ECU what MAF and what injector you're using. The old concept of "calibrated" MAF housings was a way to avoid having to actually make any changes to the ECU. [/QUOTE]
