ok.. almost every bolton does have a potential risk of screwin something up.. most have very minor risks if u have a desent ammount of mechanical knowledge. but you have to ask yourself are the potential gains worth the potential risks?.. in the descreening of the MAF i do not believe it is worth the risks to gain no hp. i did it w/ no negative effects but saw no real gain either...if i ever descreen a MAF it will be because im running a dry shot (descreen to prevent possible iceing of screen) but i would prolly just get rid of the maf all together

Well put. I agree completely. I also felt no gains, but since it ran fine and was already tuned for no screen I left it out.

yea, you pulled him because of your MAF being descreened. you keep telling yourself that
