It can throw a cel just by unplugging the maf , and all I know from experience is out of three massively different inlets none made it run how you describe , have you driven it to let the ecu re learn , or just let it idle for a couple of minits
Btw if your having it mapped why don't you just go mafless , way better and less hassle !

It makes sense that the mixtures and rates of air will have such a big effect!
No, I've decided after seeing the dramatic improvement achieved by blocking the airflow, that RCM can fiddle with it more when they get her next week!
I've thought about going MAFless! So how does that improve things? And what / how to do it?

I did worry about that, but I couldn't seal it completely with my palm...so maybe a smidge of air was getting through the seal?!

You just have it mapped to run on Map sensor not maf
My personal opinion is its smoother and you've not got to dick about with afm
Join in the DIY mapping thread I've started
And ask away there

And with all those variations, you dont appear to have changed the MAF tube 
So the ECU always had an accurate measure of how much air was entering the engine.
I think the only way to be sure my theory has at least some merit for the OP to show a picture of the new MAF setup

I used the MAF itself from the 'old' MAF tube, and attached it within the 'new' shorter MAF tube. The distance of the MAF from the turbo has decreased too...
I'm still not allowed to post attachments?!?!
You can go here to see the work done!

It does look liike it...wiring plug north, versus wiring plug south!!
Some-one's going to get a bantering tomorrow!! That bloody red silicone collar pipe joining the flexi - pipe to the MAF housing was a complete and utter barsteward to get back on!!! I'll try first thing in the morro
You deserve a pat on your back bud! Thanks

It's not your maf scale , it's not your maf scale
It's another issue
Glad you sorted now though mate ,
This is another waste of time yet again for me trying to get a point across
No I'm not after credit or glory or reward
Jay Allen mentioned it to you , I said its not your maf size but youve been led down a path by another so called expert
No I'm not mad or sulking , just sick of wasting my breath on this forum

I certainly promise to talk to RMC about binning it, and will do if they're happy to!
I want the thing to breathe as much as possible, so stupid dangly electronic things blocking airways don't do it for me!!
cheers

Oh and you've got to keep the maf sensor in because it contains the sensor for the inlet air temperature
So you've still got dangly things in you inlet ,,, ooooer

Don't know what your budget is , but tell em you want to go mafless and have spark cut launch control , no doubt it will cost you , I do my own so it's not an issue
