Is there any issue with running the car this way till the new one arrives? I am enjoying the modest, but noticeable power gain with shifting through the gears.
Thanks

Those things never burn out, just like the AB light!!Thanks! Already happened. It's been about 3 years since I've seen that light. -I though maybe it had burned out!
It seems like the light was always on just after I purchased the car. -But nothing for a long time. I made it about block when I unplugged the MAF...Those things never burn out, just like the AB light!!
Just unplugged it a couple of days ago and have not really noticed. I did fill up today and will not get the new MAF for a week, so I'll let you know what I find out. I am simply enjoying the power as I let out the clutch. It took me a few trips to learn how to shift again. It sounds like the new MAF will have it running even better. I am about 40% blocked on my intake and plan to clean that in a couple of weeks to get my 50mpg back!Im curious, since you have been driving with the maf unplugged, how is the gas mileage? Better/worst? if you noticed..
Thanks, I don't see any real noticeable difference during boost and have been shifting around 3k getting on the Freeway. -But when shifting from 1st to second and so on, it's like there is more torque and I can get through the gears faster. I wish my MAF was here already!You might want to monitor boost, a failed or unplugged MAF can lead to dangerous over boost that can lead to overheating and head gasket failure.
And the thing about mileage from my experience you only see a drop if you keep your foot in it using that higher @ lower rpms all the time.
