Make sure that little set screw isnt holding your TB open a little bit.

If I remember correctly, on my car, NA, it was reading someting along the lines of 7-8 at idle.

Re: supercharger maf readings

Im going outta town tommorow, for the week. But when I get back, if you cant find someone who has told you anything, I will try and get a datastream of my MAF at idle for you. The more I think about the more I think it was right around what yours was, but part of me insists that it was in the 7-8 range. I cant remember for the life of me now.

Re: supercharger maf readings

I have a powerdyne unit. Just after the maf is the plastic neck. It has 2 brackets for attaching it to the car. Mine has holes for the bolts to go through but allows air to leak into the neck. I just sealed them and it made a big difference on my MAF readings. No leak after it anymore.
