So for all you guys running high boost why after so many years of these kits being around is it only come to light recently? Have people just been doing these upgrades and keeping it to themselves? Or are tuning companies just not paying attention when they go to tune? Or are they knowingly maxing out the mafs and tuning in extra fuel just to be safe?

I'm genuinely curious no one stumbled onto this earlier. 2.5" MAF tubes are a recipe for disaster...

This is a very good question.

If I had to guess, it would be that so many people stopped at less than 500whp/10psi or so since that's where everybody used to think the limit of the motor was. Now that people are pushing the limit, we're seeing limitations of the MAFs.

Sasha, I was just thinking. Being that now your making 3inch intake tubes and in a different material plus the extended mafs. Maybe you could update you turbo kit listing in your home page with a parts upgrade listing for people to see what else you offer and for people who already have your kits who would like to upgrade they're kits to go into higher horsepower goals.
