Default I've said this before but here it goes again: I think the AWE kit is great if you want out of the..

box performance and have no desire to tweak ANYTHING.

I think the homebrew stuff is just as good (if not better) but you need to have the ability and desire to tweak and test.

I KNOW homebrew is faster in my car.

Default excellent, thank you for the information.

does the AWE Stage 3 kit include a bigger MAF or does it utilize the stock MAF (73mm).

Default IMO, AWE kit needs tweaking to work properly. Look at everyone using aftermarket intakes to

solve the idle issues caused by that damn MAF, etc.

Seriously, AWE would be doing themselves a favor by scrapping the stepped MAF, going with a straight through, and offering it up for sale without hardware. They would make a KILLING.

Yes, absolutely what I mean. Sorry for not being clearer. I assumed we had made this distinction.

Default i need another ride in your car then.

im kinda lost in what i need to do when the time nears...

do this PEB stuff, or just do it "right" and go with the stage 3 kit from AWE, and dont mess with it.

i apologize as i know all this has been discussed before, but i finally have time (today) to ask the questions i have always had.

also, is there any long term data or proof that this PEB kit will continue to stay strong and safe (pending no crazy abuse, NOS, etc)?
