You will need a ecu that will allow you to get rid of the maf such as a motec or link.

Unfortunately the power fc wont let you do this, i run this ecu on my car and pound of pound is an excellent piece of kit. The MY98 maf is strong and not as prone to failing as the mafs on the MY99-00 cars.

You can run the power FC on MAP only with the addition of a MAFsim convertor.
It is not necessary on a pre 99 car however until you are in the 400+bhp/twisted turbo region.

As already mentioned, the pre 99 cars are generally reliable with respect to mafs.
