FYI, here's the description of the MAF from the DME Motronic 7.2 (E-Gas) Diagnostics manual:

"Mass Air Flow Sensor

The mass air flow sensor is installed between the air cleaner and the throttle valve, and measures the mass air flow taken in by the engine. An electrically heated platinum resistance film is cooled by the air flow. A control circuit corrects
the heating current in such a way that the temperature of the resistance film rises constantly in relation to the intake air temperature. The heating current is then a means of measuring the mass air flow. With this method of measurement, the air density is also taken into consideration, as it helps to determine the amount of heat emitted from the heated body into the air. A temperature sensor is integrated for measuring the intake air temperature."

Blue2000S has my old screen and will conduct the flow bench check through the screen next week he said. In the mean time, I've got a flow meter that I use to balance my sand rails twin 44 IDF's. I was thinking that I could put my snorkel back on and place the flow meter on the snorkel and measure the flow rate at idle. Then install the intake screen and read the meter again. There should be a delta, and that delta would be the restriction, at idle.
