guestion Perrin Big MAF intake and different gauges
I was wondering about the Perrin BiG MAF intake and whether anyones tried it or not it seems to address the MAF sensor issue in 05 STIs.
and gauges does it matter what brands to use or can i just buy those generic ones from ebay
thanks for your time guys

I use the Perrin Big MAF intake and really like it. I have a huge draw from my FP Red and it is able to sustain big flows. I haven't had any issues with the MAF sensor like I had with an AEM cold air intake (I replaced the AEM with the Perrin). The Big MAF comes with my recommendations.

My steps towards a stage 4 was,
1) Intake

3) Turbo Back exhaust
4) EcuTek tuning
If I had it to do all over again... #4 would be #1. Tuning on a Suby is everything, you will get more power per dollar with a tune and pull more power per dollar of every aftermarket part you buy.

There is a problem on Oahu (as well as the other islands) because there is no tuner with an AWD chassis dyno that I'm aware of. Meet up with the local guys in the Hawaii regional forum here on i-Club as many of them are pretty knowledgable about our cars.
