Who is using the 987 MAF Holder / Tube?

[maytag]

Thanks to all of you who've responded. this is helpful.

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to find a dealer who would flash the anniversary edition tune to my car, knowing that this would accommodate the larger MAF holder. The tune that I got from Vivid (VRTuning) ignores the o2 sensors, so it doesn't work to get me past the IM station.

I may determine that, as much as it's a PITA, it may be most simple to swap back in the 986 maf holder for IM testing, and then swap it back out.

(spare me the "save-the-earth" lectures.... look up what "lean condition" means)

No just flash with the 996 ROW tune! Try an independent equiped with the PWIS (ooooh did I get the acronym wrong?). This tune will match the 987 MAF housing diameter. You will need the right iteration sensor. It will be the for the 987.1 IIRC. I am sure others here will follow up more details that I have omitted

Any reason why the 996 row would be preferred over the anniversary?

Robert,

Perhaps slightly better performance and the proper match for the 987 MAF diameter; folks here are actively using it. Full disclosure: I have just changed from a third party tune to the stock 986S and planned to go to the 996 ROW. I am not sure about the anniversary tune and don't know anyone using it. I believe the anniversary is geared to the 68mm TB where as the 996 is geared to the 74mm.

You will: be able to start the car without depressing the clutch, reducing engine wear;
not have to worry about post cat o2 sensors/codes; loose the ability to monitor one cam shaft for deviation from ideal.

If it's no longer monitoring the post-cat O2 sensors, does that interfere with the IM testing? In my state (Utah) it's a plug- in test, not a sniff up the exhaust pipe.

Thanks, the anniversary do have the larger MAF diameter but I guess the throttlebody might be the smaller one. So if one is going all the way (Airbox, MAF & TB) I can see the logic behind getting the 996 tune over the anniversary.

Seems you are always trying to insulate yourself pre-need from jerks yet you have no issue doing the same to anyone else.

You're such a douchebag.

I've been hands off with you because you're so easily triggered, but when you volunteered into my thread, I thought "huh.... ok! Maybe he's finally letting it go!" So I simply responded to you as if you'd never been the dick-head you've been.

But it seems you just can't help yourself, can ya? Most people are a dick sometimes, some people are a dick most of the time. But you? It seems you're one of the rare breed who's a dick all the time.

I'm not going to descend to a place where i'd engage the actual content of your comment, because I refuse to legitimize it.

I'd appreciate it if we could go back to just ignoring each other?

This is a bit of a wakeup call.

It's not somebody it's you! I seemed to be ok the last 13 years I have been on here!
