Dry Kit Tuning?

I did however on my previous car before hearing all of the talk about leaving it alone, descreen the MAF on my A4 car. I honestly never saw any adverse effects from doing so. Maybe I will CAREFULLY remove it, cause if done so with care it can be reinstalled sucessfully.

you should get your car checked out by a competent tuner, definitely get a AF reading, see where you are at, dry shots like to spike lean when they first hit, there are some things you can do to fix that,IE pull some extra timing in that region, and with the right year computer there is a fucntion for IAT vs PE fuel, to add some in there, but that also may cause problems with extremely cold weather, IATs usually drop the intake temps 60-70 degrees over ambient. with the right tune you can also split your timing tables for when the dry shot hits it drops timing, but for NA use it wont suffer at all, becuase the two scenarios operate at different g/cyl. I am positive anyone with headers, intake and exhaust with a dry shot is maxing out thier stock injectors, (ive seen header and intake cars do that!)while it may work for a while, it only leads to one thing in the end. cars I have done in the past with bolts and a dry shot had 30s at least, and I have done some open line (175 dry) shots with 42# injectors. definitely get some fuel in there! hope this helps!
