Didn't want to send it out for re-calibration and didn't want to buy the new style and toss a perfectly good sensor. So I did the next best thing. Made a sleeve with calibrated hole and bored the housing to same diameter as newer version MAF housings.
All specs/dimensions are identical to the later style probe assy. Only difference is a little more radius added at the tip and I used aluminum instead of plastic.
It's in the car now and working incredibly well. No codes or CEL's.

I love the smell of nitrous in the morning, but up til now only at early root canal appointments. Got individually adjustable cannula's for passenger and driver with headphones and a small tv?
