Yup, that's what the MAF screen with it's rectangular holes
does. Keeps the sensor output smooooooth. People that yank it out are stoooooopid.

eh. call me stooopid. I did pull it and have not seen any lost performance (or any gain for that matter!).

anyhoo, singh's problem is that he won't work 'with' the system. I am quite sure Ford/GM/etc all get their daily 'crank' letters with descriptions of tornado's and $.10 resistors that double gas mileage ad naseum.

If it is truly a 'New' and 'Improved' head design/mod - then he should have no trouble getting the investors to test/prove/patent the idea.

Hey, folks -
Just wanted to add this article from the April 1998 issue of Car and Driver, where they actually tested a Toronado in a BMW 5-series and could not find any benefit behind it.
