MAF: Mass Air Flow

MAP: Manifold Absolute Pressure

The advantage of a MAF is that it can be a "drop-in" replacement for our stock AFM, and it flows much better. Downside is that with a MAF, like with the AFM, vented boost from the BOV has to be re-circulated.

A MAP is more difficult to install since more has to be changed, but it allows the use of much larger BOVs that vent to atmosphere. Useful if you're using a larger turbo.
