Best way to get around that then, would be to use a drop-in panel filter for the airbox (I'd think SOMEONE makes one), and do the airbox mod listed in the DIY section of the forum to open up the area under the filter for fresh air intake. Other than that, you'd have to cut out the MAF from the airbox and then find a way to secure the cone filter onto it.

 

only if they make a maf flange kit for the intake. This will let you pull the sensor from the housing and then install it in the intake.

 

Not sure if it'd work or not, but you could try and source a 2.8 MAF and use that along with the intake kit. I don't know if they're interchangeable, but you may find that a 2.8L MAF of the same model year as your 2.6 would work. Worth checking on anyhow.

 

thanks, dose anyone know wer to look for a flange kit, or know if i can put the 2.8 maf on (not the electric bit the part it sits on)

 

It will depend on the style of flange and diam of the tubing.

Think atpturbo.com sells the flange kits

 

How slow is the 2.6? Not being mean just wondering. I feel bad knowing the speed of my 2.8

 

i dont know if your maf looks the same as mine but if it is here's a link for an adapter
