blow-through MAF
I'd like to know how the regular translator (non-pro) works with the gm sensor..I'd rather just slap that on, adjust to output as close to stock as possible and just just rflash after that..

That's exactly what I had setup on my DSM and I never had a problem with it, but apparently others said the airflow readings weren't the same as the stock maf.
I read this thread and I really wanted some soild info.
I ran the Maft on my DSM and I can agree that it was powerful but the downsides to the GM sensor verses the stock DSM/EVO MAF will allow better overall runability in varying temperature conditions.
What I am looking to do is run something such as the MAFT and still use the stock ECU for all tuning. I only want to utilize the MAFT to free up the restriction in the intake by running the GM sensor. Will this require a full retune? Has the MAFT improved on the EVO platform versus when it first came out on the DSM platform?

I was in Scarborough..Nice change from the country's dirtiest city of Philadelphia..I liked the local beer and lobster rolls, but the clams you guys have "steamers" are nasty (whats the dark thing lol)..Anyway, bump for answers and ALSO, I have heard news of a speed density setup using the stock ECU..Please tell me this is going to happen!
The problem lies within the MAFT's conversion, it's output tries to attempt to send out what the stock mas would normally send out but from what people say it leaves alot to be desired..WE NEED AN HKS VPC!!!!MAP-ECU wa said to do the same thing and more then a VPC but from what I have heard it's software is ultra tedious just like the translator pro..

I couldnt tell you!! I dont eat seafood at all! I know, im from Maine and I hate lobster, clams and whatever else comes from the deep waters.. haha
I have my MAFT based good, I too come form the DSMLINK era. The GEN2 trans lets you adjust with o2 in a way that makes it super easy to get a stock running feel on the MAFT.
I have taken my car from the humid hot south to up north on a 3 day road trip and the MAFT needed no adjustment. My AR was good and my idle was dead on. The filtering helps keep mid and high settings in check so for the most part its hassle free IMHO as a piggy back like the SAFC with some harder core settings.
Now if there was only EVOLINK

You DIDN'T just say that. Trust me you don't want a VPC. They worked ok on 1g's and have numerous driveability issues on 2g's. Even on a 1g they require a lot fiddling day to day. If you want to go MAP the translator PRO is an option, allthough I have not tested with it.
I ran a regular translator in my 1g. I set it up to do no correction, just spit out a stock style airflow signal. Then I tuned my eprom ecu to do all the correction. The drive ability was better than stock. I drove that car like that for 3 years anywhere from -10F to 105F. Ran some mid 11's at 130, very cheap and reliable setup IMO. Then I went blow through this year with a MAFT Gen2. Only got some good passes on the stock 14b turbo but ran 12.0 at 122 on the little guy. Nice setup and VTA BOV. Fuel trims are nice and the car returns 30+ MPG. The real time wideband feedback is nice to keep my AFR's where I want them.
