It's not about discrediting the design or finding flaw. It's about addressing what are obvious (to me) fundamental design issues. These issues can lead to problems for the buyers. If Stillen can give solid technical reasoning as to why they are going against MAF tuning 101, then I will be satiated and happy to have learned something in the process. I am not a tuner, nor do I purport to be. But, I am educated as I have been spending my hard-earned money on modifying cars for years. Granted, others may not quite understand what I am asking, but if there is a technical issue with the safety/longevity of the kit, then most will walk away understanding this if Stillen cannot readily explain it away.
Again, as I have said in multiple posts, I am trying to help the community by making sure that vendors are honest about the wares they are hawking. If this kit is measuring air temperatures pre-compressor of 60 degrees F and the temp being blown into the intake is post-compressor and 200 degrees F (just an exaggerated example), the ECU is receiving the 60 degree temps and compensating for this instead of 200. Can't you see the issue and the danger? Wouldn't you want to know this about a kit you were going to spend 6k on and put on a 40k car?
And, once more, just for clarification. If Stillen can answer these questions with solid technical answers that are legitimate in nature, I will certainly understand and be happy to have furthered my knowledge.
