[vwgeorge2]

Hello again all,

Im searching for the title listed above...

I want to incorperate as much OEM stuff on my car as possible and I need a factory MAF in the 4in range.

Any links would be greatly appliciated and followed up with feedback here on this thread.

The main goal is OEM look and feel, OEM air flow straightener, OEM air filter, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I think the Audi A8 MAF is what you're looking for. I also did a couple searches on "vw 100mm MAF" and there's quite a few other solutions out there too.

*EDIT* Appears the A8 MAF is 3.5", and 4" MAFs are all custom aluminum joints. Only other info I found is from TBT-Synchro and a few others running a Pro-MAF.

I did that a while back, but it doesnt have the flow straightener built in and its metal. Im looking for a complete OEM solution so tip in is as good as possible etc...and the oem look btw.

Thanks

If the pipework is straight 6" or more before the sensor you will be fine....

Bill, get some PVC, paint it black, drill some holes for the mac sensor and you're set

I thought the A8 maf housing was larger than 3in i used to have info on this stuff but i cant find it lol. I used to be an N/A guru but when i went FI two yrs ago put all the n/a info somewhere and cant find it .

Bill isn't NA, he has a STG 4 Supercharger...... well i don't think you can call it any stage, its just awesome, lol

You won't gain anything with a larger MAF housing....unless this is just for visual?

Lol it was a while ago i was into all that. Also i know he charged watched his thread since he made it. I dont need the maf i was just trying to lend a hand. I am built with a large snail so i am good on power for sure wsiting for the trans to grenade though

I currently have a 4in MAF housing from C2, and I added a home made air flow straightener that works well...But I want the OEM unit to possibly re-engineer back into the engine bay along with the other reasons listed above. I have read HPA and a few others found a 4in MAF thats OEM Audi but cant verify yet. Im also thinking about going with a Pro-M MAF but cant get UM to answer any emails?

Does anyone have Jeffs ear at UM? I need a hookup.

Thanks again to all.

George, I'm running a 4" OEM MAF but I'm unaware from which engine. It's stupid expensive though so I assume it's probably from the higher end of the range. Possibly a R8 or Gallardo perhaps? The MAF is buried in there on my car but I'll try and get you some info and confirm diameter by the weekend.

[graeme86]

Yes, Bosch or VW part number off housing please.

[climiefish]

In for part numbers

Perfect, thank you very much.

Do you have a direct line to Marcel?
