Is there any way to get rid of it? Or put something in its place cause i want to make a CAI but it is right in the middle of the intake tract? Any ideas?

The only way you can get rid of the afm(air flow meter) is by getting a standalone computer that uses only a map senor. Just make a tid(turbo inlet duct) and then whatever the hell you want after the afm, a cone or a pipe and cone.

haha, actually i thought you were being sarcastic Well actually the car does not have a MAF= mass air flow sensor, so don't confuse the two.

CAI = Cold Air Intake

MAF = Mass Air Flow



I have a ford probe and in the probe it is a MAF and I figured that since it is made by mazda it was the same thing. Sorry ! ! !



What is a TID and how do you make it? Any info would be GREATLY Apriciated ! ! !

One more question, why did my car yesterday run like ***? It was making this hissing sound that got louder with RPM. Now it is not doing the sound and the car runs awesome? Could it have something to do with the exhaust? If my 5th & 6th ports do not open would this give just cause for the car to run really bad like bad that it takes for ever to go through the gears and accleration is horible? Idont Know.

Just look on ebay for a cone air filter and adapter, you should be able to find one fairly cheap, then can just bolt the adapter to the AFM, then run piping and you air filter where ever you want.



PS 3" thin wall pvc, a rubber 3" to 3" boot, and some thin wall elbows works wonders and for a grand total of about $50 you can't go wrong, here is a picture of my custom cold air intake, I know it's a first gen, but be creative, drill a huge hole in the flat part behind the headlight, under the stock air box.
