Sorry for my stupidity but what is a maffless tune?

Always had a appreciation for the sleepers. Good looking car mate.

The MAF is a component in a vehicle's intake system through which air flows past a wire that is heated by an electrical current. The airflow cools the wire, enabling the MAF to calculate the mass of airflow into the engine. The vehicle's engine management computer then uses this information to calculate the correct amount of fuel to be delivered to the cylinders by the fuel injection system.
Removing the MAF

When tuning a MAF-equipped vehicle to operate in MAFless mode, the MAF is removed. This requires the use of an alternative method of calculating airflow into the engine, which is also referred to as 'Speed-Density' system, as opposed to a MAF system. On vehicles so equipped, this alternative involves the use of a manifold absolute pressure, or MAP, sensor. The MAP sensor measures pressure in the engine's inlet manifold. When coupled with data regarding the engine's revolutions per minute, or RPM, and throttle position, the MAP sensor can be used by the engine management computer to calculate fuel requirements.

Advantages
By changing the engine from MAF mode to MAFless/MAP mode, vehicle modifiers claim two advantages:
The MAF may pose a physical restriction across the vehicle's intake tract, thereby reducing airflow into the engine. By removing the MAF this restriction is eliminated, potentially improving engine performance.
By moving the airflow measurement sensor from the intake plumbing to a point closer to the cylinders, the time lag from air moving past the sensor to reaching the cylinder can be reduced, thereby improving throttle response.

Disadvantages

A potential disadvantage of converting an engine from MAF to MAFless mode is that where the MAP sensor is used to measure airflow, the corresponding fuel calculations must be performed by the computer based on tables of information programmed by the engine tuner. If other parts of the engine are subsequently modified with an effect on airflow through the engine, these fuel tables must be adjusted to match the revised engine hardware. As airflow is measured from the MAP sensor, turbocharger variations will affect the fuel flow measurement resulting in higher or lower fuel flow. Without MAF, monitoring of the airflow is very difficult, and so the chances of reproducibility of the desired performance in the field is much less. EGR with the feedback system and exhaust sensors are necessary to lower the chances of engine to engine variation in performance. By contrast, when operating in MAF mode the computer can automatically adjust its fuel delivery based on the airflow data generated by the MAF, even if other engine hardware is changed.

Another small disadvantage is as the engine wears, the mean vacuum is decreased. This 'fools' the MAP sensor into overfuelling. This is only a problem on very high mileage engines.

Not to sure on the wall..
But definitely keen on the springs ;)
Do you have different shocks though for that low?

Yes sorry should of added that ... Got new shortened shocks and springs ... Yeah unsure of Walls yet myself but a bloke i know does it ... has all different colors ... keep thinking up some ideas ...


OHHH Today i just put some Alloy Covers in my engine bay aswell ..
Fuse cover , all the Caps done ... looks sweet ...
