away with the stock AFM?

Hi guys...

Is there a way to get rid of the AFM with the STOCK ecu?

so any device which is basically a MAP sensor, but the ouputs let the ECU think that its the stock AFM...

That's still technically not stock ECU

A stock flash, unmodified stock ECU it wont work. You can go the rtek7 route if they end up going through with it, standalone, or switching to MAP which requires more work also.

I hooked up a variable speed leaf blower to my afm, and put it in the back hatch area. Just crank it up when you wanna go faster.

Talking

Slpin just hit it right on the head. We sell a MAPECU which piggybacks onto your stock ECU and allows you to remove the AFM and use larger injectors, tune and create custom fuel maps, etc. etc. It's good from -7psi to 30psi.

So you can keep your stock ECU for all the functions it offers, and then ditch the AFM and run your own custom fuel setup.

the only downfall to the MAP ECU, is that its cost is almost online with a regular standalone(unless the price has gone down lately). Its a good unit, and my friend runs one in his Stealth (so he can retain his OBDII), and i toyed with the idea, but in the end cost drove me to standalones...
