Why do you want to get rid of the afm, and don't give me the "It,s too restrictive" excuse because it's not, Metric Mechanic makes engines that produce over 180 hp on the stock afm. As far as the four pintle injectors, just install them and the ecu will adjust over a period of time.

1991 E30 m42...I have noticed just a bit more throttle response and really poor fuel economy with my AFM MAS conversion. But in the end, it gives me more tunability. If that is even a word. And I am with you really not worth the 1000 bucks I spent on it.

im not getting rid of it im just changing it to a differant type. I hope i get more than 180 hp with a turbo on the side of my M42!!!  I am just asking how to do it thats all.

If you are boosting it, then it really doesn't matter, you will be forcing air into it, regardless of size the pressure will be the same before and after it. Restrictions on the intake side dont matter compared to the exhaust side when boosing, alot of people that boost their cars dont even port the intake side of the head, they just do the exhaust because that is where most of the restriction is on a turbo motor.

Here, I fixed it:
Metric Mechanic makes N/A engines that produce over 180 hp on the stock afm and turbo motors that make around 300 depending on the build.

get a standalone ecu and a mustang maf, it will cost a lot for no power gain
