Default Can B6 1.8T benefit from MAF upgrade? Who sells?

I thinking about upgrades for my A4...right now it's bone stock. Is it just the small K03 that restricts it from producing power in the upper RPM's or is it that the engine's stock MAF can't keep up with that much airflow?

Default

It's the KO3. The OEM MAF is good for over 300hp w/ 100 octane and the race program on APR's STG III

Default I doubt it.....

the turbo is the main restriction, and in a bone stock configuration, you're not even close to maxing it out.

Default Well that is with a modified maf voltage change.

I think the stock maf/housing/voltage will max out around 260 hp. This is with no changes at all to the maf setup.

Default He asked if the OEM MAF housing couldn't keep up with the airflow or if it was the K03.

MAF voltage changes have ZERO to do with whether the OEM MAF housing can flow sufficent air to support over 300HP. I answered his question with an example of an application that DOES use the OEM housing and demonstrates that the housing is NOT the restriction he was worried about.

Default Actually if you read, his post does not even have the word "housing" in it.

Just the maf itself, which means the sensor not the stock housing. A stock maf/housing with no special changes to how it works, means it will not flow more then 186(nondbw) and 215 g/s (dbw). At 215 g/s the car will top out at 260 hp.
