Yes, i know that the screen restricts flow, but without it, or a VS, then you get a CEL
so if I bored out the maf to 3" and keep the screen, them im still going to have alot more flow then what it was originally.
and once I get a VS, or make one. then I can remove the screen.
And why not bore it out if im doing it myself?
I have access to a mill.

What angle/shape are you giving the interior walls?
Bigger isn't necessarily better, flow wise. Straight-through walls with larger ID will flow worse than the stock bore walls with sampling tube removed.
It's all about the shape.
A velocity stack is probably the cheapest/easiest upgrade available for this engine that actually makes a difference. Why do you not want one? If you can bore an MAF then flaring a bit of tubing should be child's play.

I do want the VS, but i didn't have one yet, and just wondered if boring the maf without would
actually do anything, but yes, I was going to do just a straight through bore.
Thanks for the info.

Modifying the MAF introduces all kinds of possibilities for CELs.
Do you have an Air/Fuel meter? If not, then get one and become familiar with it's patterns before attempting to DIY this mod.
This has all been covered hundreds of times here. Do more searching.
Short answer: No, you could still get a CEL.
