5.0 Mass Air conversion on 2.3 turbo? July 20, 2007, 04:32:16 PM I bought this plug for my 5.0 mass air meter for my turbo 2.3 but I'm not sure which wires on the plug go to which wires on the factory wiring. Can anyone help? Quote Selected

Reply #3 – July 21, 2007, 09:32:44 AM I also have everything I need to upgrade to a 5.0 throttle body but need to have my intake port matched and I’ve got 46lb injectors, a new fuel rail (OEM), and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. But I want to put all that on together and like I said I need to port match my intake manifold. Quote Selected

5.0 Mass Air conversion on 2.3 turbo? Reply #5 – July 21, 2007, 01:11:12 PM If you look at the wiring diagram for a car with a MAF and a car with a VAM they are totally different. Its not as simple as changing the connector. A MAF is treated as a stand alone sensor, a VAM shares wires with other sensors. Quote Selected

Reply #14 – July 27, 2007, 10:16:05 AM I was told as long as the mass air meter came off another turbo engine that it'll work but my question is were there any turbo fords that came with a flow through maf similar to the 5.0 maf? I found a few on ebay that say they're probe or merker turbo mass air's but can't tell from the pics if they're flow through’s. Quote Selected
