Caleb, I just got back from driving it with the new MAF, It is running like a animal now.

Way way stronger up top!! Thanks for the hook up dude.

The SLR is awesome!

I just pulled out from a stop sign and the car just started bucking and missing very bad.

A/F were all over the place. I guess it must of had a bend or something wrong with it, and it just let loose.

It might be the new hybrid turbo is to much for it.

how's the spool? Does that feel better also? Like I said, if it was whacked out, there's no telling what it would make the car do!

Yes the spool is a lot better, there is more power now at just 5-10psi than before. So it was defiantly messing with it bad!

I just wonder if it could of started going bad, when it was on the dyno?

What plastic hold down piece are you talking about? Both MAF I have do not have such a thing, just the honey comb screen. Do you have a picture you can show me? Thanks!

Evos don't have that hold-down piece like 1G's do.

OP, what intake setup do you have? Hard pipe? Does it wobble at all? Just curious if it's an airflow issue, or a bouncing-around issue possibly?
