Default M3=lunch's post about having his MAF unplugged for months really has me thinking. Pleae explain.

How can a car run properly with a TCD and no MAF sensor plugged in when it is on k03 softare, k04 turbos, and bigger than stock injectors? If it's not running off the MAP/MAF sensors, what is it running off of? I'm totally confused. What am I missing here?

Default My car goes mega rich when I unplug the MAF, I assume I could

pull some fuel and attempt to tune it for that setup.

I'm assumming his car is faster this way or he wouldn't be running that way.

What are the drawbacks ?

Default I have NO idea why he chooses to run that way. I don't see how he could be faster w/o one....

unless it was very poorly tuned for bigger injectors and bigger MAF.

Default Meaning he isnt faster, dont know why 3rd gears pulls so well

but on the track even with me driving his car I could not get better then a 13sec 1/4. I dont know why he runs without a maf I have a perfectly good one sitting here, that he can barrow
