	Plenty of boys running BTs with same set up, I'm thinking cold weather, dirty filter, excessive vibration may be the problem, so i'll start off with a new filter and maf :)

	quote: Originally posted by Steve theres nothing restrictive about a MAF theres no limit to the signal it can send to the ecu, the restriction would be the map/ecu it wouldnt cause a restriction, my concern would be if its reaching the upper limit, if the airflow is hitting the limit that could cause issues. we often find the need to replace maf sensors for bigger ones so they can flow more, or on NA cars remove them and remap so it runs TPS only

	Unplugging will be it reverts to tps, will use more fuel but if you drive off boost you will be fine
