    Interesting, what does the M30 AFM do for those motors anyway?

    I gave one to a local VW guy up here, he did the same swap, never asked him.

              Nice to see you made it.

              Saw you on 34 today. I was in the Freebird parking lot dropping off some stuff to get painted.

                  Not really, I heard roumours and when I tried it I lost 11bhp over the stock airbox and M20 AFM. I'm sure if it was tweaked a lot there are gains to be had but it's a fiddly bugger to set up.

                    it works, but you have to swap the internals of your M20 AFM so it doesn't mess up the computer, then you end up with a larger opening so *more* air can flow *easier*.
                    oh, and its NOT AN MAF! Its an AFM... HUGE differrence here.

                          Sweet ride. Personally I wanted at MKII GTi, but E30's I felt were more....cool.

                          Nice reference to Jay and Silent Bob. Post pictures up of your car!

                            Compant business. Just dropping off/picking up parts.

                            We should get together this weekend, and take some pics of the car. I have a decent digital camera so...
