Leave the MAF alone, no need to change it. If you go for a TB, theres good reviews about the Shaner S2. Personally I dont feel like the pulleys are a worthwhile mod for the money. Have you dont the free ram air mod?

Well it looks like your running out of bolt ons. Have you done any of the free mods? Might be time for some suspension and a stall.

Hers a writeup on the free ram air. LINKY!

Click on the free ram air write up. Do a search here on Tech for the other free mods, although it isnt working for me at the moment.

Port the TB, leave the MAF alone and get a pulley. If your going to get a FTRA, be careful not to cutout too much with the free ram air mod.

You saving for a converter?
