So I got with a bud and tested some - on his NA - better throttle response, he is convinced it is making a difference in power, I am remain a skeptic till I can see the difference on a dyno - but seemed to accelerate a lot better and a much better idle - which was surprising.
Test Vehicle 87 924S. Mods = MSDS Header, MAF Setup for testing - ported throttle body - strange but yes he ported it. Port matched Intake, TB and HEAD. 50 HP Nitrous kit - Wet Kit - with my trade mark Carbon Fiber Bottles. Cheater System - as in you cant find it or see it.
Anyway - sooner or later he wants to get on the dyno and test all his mods and the Nitrous when that day comes we will test with and without the MAF.
Till then I believe it may add some HP at the Flywheel - but driveline losses would eat a lot of the power up before it makes it to the wheels.
His G-tech did measure improved numbers - so their is something gain, but I am not going to claim anything specific. I can only say I saw a diffence on my car and on his if the readings are correct. A dyno will tell the tale for solid numbers.
I still believe that claiming a specific gain is not a good thing - as results would surely varry from one car to the next. If it makes an improvement and it will by all accounts then I think it is worth the effort to convert as it does add a lot of tune-ability to your car.
Also - the 80mm units are on a 3 week back order - So I am upgrading the unit to a 85mm for free (50 dollar value) this is the same as the turbo stage I size.
