cheap way to upgrade to a 73 mm MAF meter

That's exactly what you should do if you remove the post, raise fuel pressure.

In case the rest of you didn't know, a MAF measures airflow by the air that blows into the tube itself and cools the thingy in there, it then sends a certain voltage to the computer depending on how cool it is. The computer figures the post is in the way (Not exactly like that, but it is calibrated for having the post) and thinks so much air is flowing through the rest of the meter which isn't directly measured by it, without the post, more air is flowing than the computer believes is flowing through, and not as much fuel is being sent that should be sent. Causing a lean condition.

In case you twerps (Shouting at me, you had it coming.) didn't know, leaning the mixture can raise HP, but at the same time can cause long-term damage to your engine. So not only are you gaining HP from more airflow, but from a leaner mixture.

2tone, superchargers and other performance mods don't alter your EECs measuring devices, so it knows to add more fuel to match the increased airflow.

But if gaining performance at the cost of potentially harming your engine is your thing. Then more power to you, it's not my car. Sorry I cared.
