use a Dastek Unichip to correct the output curves to suit and it can be done, cost, c £900 fitted and mapped @ Bexleymotorworks( and others )

you could go full standalone for the same £Â£Ã‚£, but is that the kinda money you were looking to spend ?

Dastec or split second unit will allow you to interface the MAF, you'll have to write a new map to suit though dude

Miller bolts straight on, no mods, stock ECU with remapped chip to suit.

Miller is probably the best solution. I have driven numerous MAF'd cars and also one with a Miller on it. No difference but the Miller costs less than half what the Unichip route does.

£900 for a MAF conversion is a conservative figure as this is with a 2nd hand MAF and it's + VAT.

Check out their website: http://www.millerperformancecars.com/m20maf.html

Sometimes they run promotional offers - they were half price over Chrimbo!

what about a custom chip and a miller can it be done? as they use a special chip for their cars which were stock before the MAF conversion?
