The computer can be tricked to get around the airflow limitation. The problem is finding a MAF that will read a high flow of air, but output a scaled frequency that the PCM can handle. It's very unlikely that the 6.0L MAF will read enough air. You really need something with a sample tube that is designed for boost.

casey, i asked that question a looong time ago, rember? if the maf fail freq was considered a full maf failure and nobody knew.. well now we know you can go ahead and order that 3 bar sensor now if you are thinking what i am.

i will have to go re check what my limit is at now. we dont need to be hitting that.

lastly the 'big' stock mafs are calibrated differently but there is nothing to gain as far as flow capacity over a stock meter as far as 'meterability' goes... for that you need a wire job on the maf.

I thought I remembered a post asking about that, but no answer. I just might, I think I happen to have some spare change here and there.
