VMP Tuning - 86-04 Mustang GT & Cobra 05+ Style MAF Conversion Kit for 86-04 with MAFIA

In 2005 Ford Introduced a new style of mass-air sensor. It is commonly referred to "slot" or "card" style. This sensor has no housing, the stock airbox has a receptable for the sensor.

We offer two packages to convert to the 05+ style sensor. One with a stock Ford MAF + Diablo MAFIA to get the range back, the other package with an HPX PMAS slot style sensor and connector harness (no MAFIA required).

We have found that the new sensor works very well in blow-through applications. Blow-through means that the mass air sensor is placed after the compressor (supercharged or turbocharged cars). The slot style MAF provides a very clean and consistent signal when used in blow-through or suck through. The slot style maf can be placed in any size tube, from 3" to 4.5". We do not recomend going smaller than 2.75". The car will need to be properly tuned for the new MAF sensor.

When it comes to driveability and throttle response, blow through with an 05+ MAF is the best way to go. Having the MAF sensor far away from the engine makes the car harder to tune and hinders throttle response. In the past tuners used to recomend suck-through, but this has sinced changed with the introduction of the 05+ MAF. With blow-through the by-pass valve can now be vented to atomsphere, this will reduced air temps, because the air is no longer being re-circulated and re-heated.

We now offer a complete package with everything you need to convert. Recomended for Procharged cars and other cars with air to air intercoolers.

Package Includes:
05+ MAF sensor
Diablo MAFIA F7324 plug and play, converts 96-04 MAF connector to work with 05+ MAF
VMP Aluminum CNC flange for placing sensor directly into a tube.
-Flange available for 3" and 4" tubes, can be screwed or riveted onto tube of exact size
-Flange can be welded on to any aluminum tube from 3" to 4.5" (welding will fill gaps)

Package Options:
6 wire MAF harness plug and play for 96-01(+$35)
-Allows use of 05+ sensors built in IAT (through MAFIA) on 96-01 which had external IATs
-Can be soldered on to 86-95 to work with MAFIA F7324

The MAFIA is needed to extend the range of the sensor in blow-through. The MAFIA has several different settings (2 through 5), during tuning select the setting that gets you closest to the max of 1023 without hitting it. We recomend selecting a tube size that matches your intercooler piping, if power level permits. Bends close to the MAF will effect range. We recomend the MAF is installed in a straight section of 12" tube, but we know this is not always possible.
