I have the old style VAF meter in my ti. I'm wondering if there is a swap I can do to make it a MAF type system. I was looking at the connectors on the 1994 328i MAF sensor, and the connector on the VAF meter in my car. They're the exact same. Can I just do a direct swap and dump a MAF in my car if the connectors match up and couple together? Or is there some other proceedure that I would have to follow? Or, trial and error, put one in and see if it works? One of my instructors says it might work, it might not, but if it does, there will be a small power gain. And I mean small, like a couple of horses for getting rid of the restriction that is the VAF meter.
