MAF ends question
MAF ends question I just purchased Tbryne MAF ends and i have been hearing that these will lean out the car because they have no screen and they inside is few mm bigger in diameter than a stock MAF....is this true??? I do have a Vinci VHP tuner, so cant i just add 5 or 10% more fuel to fix this problem???
Any info will help.....

I put them on my A4 years ago. I felt a difference. 98's tend to run richer so maybe that was why. Then all the posts about A4's and tranny problems came up due to ported maf ends,so i sold them.

Corvettes with the A4 tranny have problems that result from ported maf ends?????
I have a 2000C5 A4....and i would like to hear more about this. Has anyone else heard about this happening??????? 
i answered your post on corvette forum. as far as trans issues goes, i've had mine on the wife's car for well over a year now. never had any trans issues due to it. with the larger MAF ends, there is unmetered air going past it. this in turn goes uses a different load table which in turn determines shift points and firmness. this was thought to cause trans issues. IMO, more a myth than fact.
what did cause trans issues was oiled type of air filters like amsoil and k/n. people would over oil them this, in turn, would get on the MAF wires. causing them to misread what air was coming in.
