I took her for a spin and did find a noticable gain in pull almost the hole way through. Does anyone know of any bad side effects that would result from the removal of the MAF unit? The MAF looked very restrictive anyway. Tell me what you think?

You removed the MAF from your rubber accordian tube and now the MAF harness is just sitting there, dangling in the enginebay? Are you stupid? Do you know why the MAF is there? If you are looking for a performance gain, switch to a bigger MAF, rather than no MAF at all. I am pretty sure you could destroy your engine this way. 99 Range Rover 4.6 HSE Mystery Car??????

But you can drive for a few minutes without a MAF and then the car will stall completely. As I did one day when I was installing stuff, and forgot to plug my MAF back in, and the car drove nicely, and then it all of a sudden quietly stalled. Then started again...drove and stalled again... Oh well...

I know because I left mine unplugged one time and I couldn't get the car to accelerate above 3000 RPMs. It would almost die if I hit the throttle hard! -Andy Andy Watson '99 Silver SVT #2397\| DOB 07/29/99 Graci!
