This is a really lame question

[bentaw]

How do you disconect the MAF mine doesnt want to budge i have removed it before but have completly forgotten the technique to remove the wire that plugs into the MAF

 

[cupra-c_ya]

maybe use a flat bladed screwdriver to lift the clip then give it a pull

 

[YerMother]

Just push the clip back on top of the plug and just pull it off!

 

[bentaw]

i have been trying that but i didnt want to snap it guess i just wasnt trying hard enough thanks anyway

 

[YerMother]

Don't be scared of it show it who's boss! If you push the clip back with your thumb and then wiggle it out you should be fine! If the notch on the MAF has been damaged you may have to get a small straight edge screwdriver as said and slide it down to release the clip!

ok went and did it came off straight away, ok so i put my old MAF back on the one i have descreened and i am only seeing 178.30g/s of airflow and the MAF i have just removed was seeing 173g/s of airflow. Could there be another problem as to why my g/s is so low bearing in mind i dont have my BMC on there anymore its the standard airbox with standard filter just with a 3" cold air feed going to it.

 

[bentaw]

also with the MAF i just put on i see more numbers in my CF columns i will post the logs up later when i find my memory stick so you can see better

 

[YerMother]

Check that there is no leaks on the turbo inlet pipe! Do you have a Samco TIP?
If so check all the hoses to and from it are secure! As if may be sucking air from behind the MAF causing a low reading. Check for obstructions in your airbox and feed! Make sure you have a clean filter etc.

If you do have a vacumn leak then if you log block 32 you should see a +ve number in the second column along which indicates it's running lean!

 

[bentaw]

so log block 032 and see what happens, i do have a slight split in my TIP but it does not go all the way through, only down to the white stuff, it is down on the first big pipe that comes off the TIP i think it is some sort of breather

 

[YerMother]

You havent got it in standard mode have you?

 

[bentaw]

no well i hope not not with the cf's i had

 

[YerMother]

High CFs would indicate that it's running lean!

 

[bentaw]

it was ony high in 1 column the 4th column where it saw a few 6's i am using V-power fuel so 99ron, i did see a few 3's in the second column and at one point there was 1.5 in all 4 columns

 

[YerMother]

Ah thats fine!

Is it boosting ok?

 

[bentaw]

yeah from what i can see in places it gets more than what it asks for and others it gets a little less but not massive amounts to stand out

 

[YerMother]

Check the TIP is fully on the turbo as well!

 

[bentaw]

ok i will have a look when its not raining do you reckon i should put tape over the split as a temporary measure to see if that makes a difference

 

[YerMother]

I'd take it off personally and have a really good look at it! Tape is a good idea though!

 

[bentaw]

Well just been out and logged it again, i logged 002,020 and 032, first off with T6 B5, i got hardly any CF the airflow reached 178.32, in the first lambda column i got 0.2 all the way through and in the second one i got mostly -7 and at some points i got -6.3.

The second run i did was T7 B6 and i got a few more CF's but not a lot to worry about i think i got an 8 in the 2nd column at 2450 rpm then it went back to normal. As for airflow i reached 178.69 and the lambda was the same as before.

I must say though since changing the settings the car feels a hell of a lot more responsive and she flies and i mean she feels really quick

 

[bentaw]

what do you think
