I removed the air flow meter altogether with 4" ABS electrical conduit. The meter is only used to signal the computer for EGR function, so its removal eliminates ~6 lbs of dead restrictive weight.
It has the KKK turbo. I had that black intake pipe to it off a long time ago, but I dont remember anything insignificantly wrong with the impeller blades.

So if I take out the air flow meter completly, what ill effects if any, by not having that little sensor mounted at the front of the flow meter will there be?
