I finally descreened my MAF today after 3 years of having the car. Couple observations...

1. Idle smoothed out. My idle used to dance around a little bit, now its rock solid.

2. Car cruises better in gear after letting off the gas. Before I descreened the MAF the RPM's would drop and it felt like the car was fighting to stay at speed.

3. Slight SOTP improvment. I know this is impossible to tell and I told myself I wouldnt judge based on this but I CAN tell a difference, mostly in throttle response.

Not sure if my mods contributed to the results but Id do it again in a heartbeat.
