I know that as of last march he was closed to new orders because he was way behind on work and was trying to catch up, and apparently had over 4000 emails to catch up with because it was just him. That totally makes sense as a one-guy operation and I don't blame him but now his site is down entirely. It's a bummer, as I was wanting to get my mitts on one of his MAF conversions sometime soon-ish. Anybody talk to him recently? Hopefully he'll be back once he's caught up, but I'd be bummed out if the best MAF conversion on the market and some good chips went up in smoke to never return.

he ended the maf conversions some time before choking up the rest of the operation. informed me he can't get the mafs that work any longer and does not want to try find another. i have one of his chips and was discussing a maf conversion in the future when he warned me it would not be possible. .Originally posted by Maybe Magpie View Post
if you want a maf now the only option is going to a standalone. -
ugh, that sucks. i was able to easily find a MAF that'd work for my car listed on FCP euro by his guides on his wiki, i just needed the modules and hardware for the rest that he offered. i was hoping to do that + E36 injectors + chip in one swoop after my 5-speed swap (done) and suspension overhaul (impending). weren't there like several dozen MAFs that were viable? the big appeal to me of it was that it kept the stock ECU. when you say choked up, do you mean he's done-done or is he just head-down busting his ass on existing orders for the foreseeable future until stuff's worked out? if he's done-done it's a shame but he should offload the IP rights to an outfit that can make the damn conversion things again.Originally posted by 82eye View Posti'm in love with german cars // gliding past me on the autobahn

there may have been at one point. from what i understand, there were mafs that produced the correct signal, but fewer that could be physically modified, cut down etc, and issues with the number of pins on the different mafs wiring, and available connectors.Originally posted by Maybe Magpie View Post
probably just backed away from the diy side. they did offer a package with maf, which was what i was looking for, but it was suspended just before i got my chip.

pretty sure he's go the same issues everyone else does. back inventory sold fast over covid, and the supply chain chunked up. since then, most of the focus has shifted, and both the supply and quality of the chips is screwed.Originally posted by Maybe Magpie View PostComment

I have one of his conversions if anyone is interested. I had a not so good experience with him toward the end and I have since gone standalone. 82eye Maybe MagpieComment

I've had poor experiences recently with MAFs for later BMWs.
The 'these have always been good' parts... are not so good any more.

I had the version 1 of us his MAF Conversion and it was great, zero issues. He did updates to it as time went on. So the current version I have gave me issues. Issues that I tried to address with him, but in the end he blamed me in so many words. But after I swapped my AFM back on, all my bucking and hard starting issues went away. I never tried to get my money back or accuse him of any wrong doing I just wanted to help further the project. Along with giving him feedback on certain issues that I had came across. But we never got that far after that. But like I said I went with Jake's PNP and I have never looked back.Comment
