afm and induction hard pipe

You could do a test with maf plumbed to bypass the pipe & even the turbo to see effects on idle, also look at filter & adapter effect too. You can get honey comb plates to help smooth the flow. Some people have had real issue with mafs & turbulence while others on almost identical intake setup have none.

Your afm develops a real lust for womans tights which is only resolved with the touch of such ladys leg ware. In order to resolve this issue you will need to pin open its opening and make it watch a movie of disturbing things so it snaps out of it. Much like the cure on clockwork orange. Thus creating a perfectly working afm.

If this doesnt work then I suspect its your hard pipe setup

prefer decent map sensor on turbo cars myself so if you stumble on a wad of cash grab a Link ecu & a map sensor lol .

Strange on idle Tho
