Broken AFM... Replace or do the MAF conversion?

[=======Live Fast!]

Hey everyone! I just picked up an 89' 325is and it definitely needs some love. One of the many parts being and air flow meter. I was doing some research and weighing my options and it seems like I could A. buy a brand new one for $480.00 B. Buy a re manufactured one for around $100.00 or C. do a MAF conversion from Miller or BMP for $600-1000. I was curious about anyone's opinions/experiences with the re manufactured ones and the conversions. Thanks.

option D. pick up a used working afm from the for sale section for $30.

everything depends on how much money you want to throw around.

I used it as the logical reasoning to MAF and WAR.
And just the conversion isn't 600-1k. MAF and WAR is just shy of 700. To just MAF is under 400.

I agree. I'd be willing to spend a little bit of money if there was a significant power gain.

No I've heard the miller maf actually makes u lose about 17 hp on average.

haahaha... Are you serious? The dyno sheets on their site are pretty impressive.

Anyone currently have the Miller BMP or Split Second conversions running on their cars? Any difference?

I have the Miller MAF + WAR on my 2.8L M20 Stroker.. dynos' very well and runs like a strangled cat. I've had no issues with Miller and Brody over there has been very responsive to me.
