That's exactly what I thought. Some MAF's even have two different screens, having the smaller one tighter grid holes flowing directly to the hot film meter.
Anyway, it would be nice to have some vag-com maf logs...no volunteers..?
I had seen this done quite some time ago on an astra GSI turbo. They use the same MAFS and housing as the golf. The driver noticed a better increase in resonse and power (5bhp on the rollers iirc)
talking about mafs someone told me at the bluewater meet that they had put a 130pd maf into a 115pd could you do the same for a 130 with a 150pd maf as i asume that the rest is all the same?

I tried cutting out the plastic 'squares' but this is quite difficult and would have ended up a mess so I removed the round plastic 'grid' completely but as this holds the metal gauze in place I have had to secure the gauze to the body of the inlet with a thin strip of araldite around the edges. Don't put it back together until this is completely set!
the gauze is there stop objects enetering the engine.....
DO NOT REMOVE THE PLASTIC, this has been all over VWvortex, the
plastic is to keep a uniform air flow over the maf so it can make
accurate measurements, without it there could be turbulent air in the
maf housing, and the actual MAf is only seeing a few grams of air and
the actual flow is much higher.
totaly agree it does sound interesting , but i think i would hunt down a maf from the breakers first check that it works then do the little mod , as i wouldnt wana end up screwing up the one i have already lol
