Default MAF removal...which ECU's ??

Does the GEMS remove the MAF ?

i don't think the APEXi unit can, can it?


I am worried about getting an ecu & mapped with the MAF, this failing and it costing me !!

you hear the horror stories about the MAF's.

Cheers
Chris.

It is a bit crap on cold starts and is quite on/off in terms of power delivery, much prefer the apexi to a gems but it was fun due to its anti lag function lol

Simtek. Does everything it says on the tin and more, and something of a bargain.
