Is the MAF housing on a MY01-05 the same as a MY99
 

Is the MAF housing the same on a MY01-05 WRX as the MY99-00 Turbo.

I want to use a MY01-05 housing on my MY99 UK Turbo but want to know if my MAF sensor will still connect up to it.

Craig

Different, so no. It may work, with a remap, but the green dot classic MAF's are much better than the early non-green dots.....so why bother?

Richard

The replacement MAF's for the MY99/00 cars have 'green dots' on them now.

I'm not changing the MAF i want to use the original MY99 MAF, i'm looking at getting an aftermarket cold air induction kit but the kit is for a MY01-05 but i am going to customise it to fit the classic.

Just want to know if my MY99 MAF will fit the housing.

Craig

Be careful - changes to the induction set-up *could* lead to the MAF reading incorrectly. Not a problem if you're getting a remap too, but be careful if not.

Will be getting a remap. Just collecting all the parts at the moment.

Craig

So do you think my MY99 MAF will fit into the housing from a MY01-05

No, its (the new age housing) too small in diameter and air velocity will be too high, the new age maf won't work with the ecu either, I have been experimenting, got the car to idle and drive off boost but the air velocity is too low through a 80mm MY99 maf body and the smaller new age body restricts things too much. Project is held up as I have the Motec in the car and thats much more fun.
