MAF Sensor

[DylanR]

Where is it located - is this it?

I’m going to try cleaning it with some CMC to see if that fixes my lag/stuttering issue when going up a slight incline or giving throttle on interstate.

Have you pulled it out to have a look?

Youll want to make sure to only use MAF sensor cleaner if it is

Yes the CMC product… but that is it correct?

Turbo Lag...

Mine is pretty bad in general. Starting on a slight incline with no load (trailer etc) it can take a few seconds.... like 2-3 seconds to build boost, That's a long time if you are trying to cross a 4 lane highway......

(I have one intersection where I feel it a lot and the turbo lag puts me at risk when I try to cross, so here is how I handle that)

Right before you go hold the brake with your left foot give it 15-20% throttle for about 1.5 seconds then let go of the brake, it reduces the turbo spool time and keeps you safe as you try to cross a 4 lane highway with limited visibility on both sides. Frankly they should just install a light at that intersection or not allow left turning, but they do....

Sorry man I appreciate the insight but I’m not talking anything about turbo lag

You should try a Pedal Commander, EVC, etc. throttle controller. IMO the oem throttle programming gives the allusion of turbo lag being much worse than it actually is, you can fix 80% of the problem with a plug and play throttle controller.
