The whacky part is that AWE maf. Seems with the straightener
the total flow area would be less... understanding the straightener is more for drivability than load testing.
Have never understood the design purpose of that particular component in the kit. Anyone dinking with just the standard Hitachi housing out there? Know others that have replaced with blue oval components.
Just an observation, not picking. As always, Thx for the data.

My theory is that the larger the Maf size the more important it is to have an exponentially longer lead in. Or velocity stack. This can also be successfully accomplished with a straightener.

I hate to jump in here, but long before the flow straightener was thought of, you have said
in the past that you didn't have a problem with the original AWE MAF Housing (before straightner's etc).
Please don't take this the wrong way, just trying to understand the evolution here.
Can you give me your impressions regarding the differences in drivibility with and without the flow straightner ? How much of an improvement ?, are you seeing similar improvements on all cars you install the straightner on ?, are some cars still a bit touchy even with the straightner ?
I know you have installed the EVO intake on many cars, this seems to have a similar effect. Do you prefer this over the flow straightner ?
What about using an Hitachi MAF mounted in an RS4 MAF housing, have you mobile-tuned any AWE Stage III kits with this setup ?
Sorry for all the questions. Your insight is appreciated.

Since no one else is asking...Is this the first proven/dyno'ed application of the HSSSK04-5's?
These HP and TQ numbers strike me as impressive. Is there anyway to quantify what those turbos did? What else will/can be done?
Are there any comparable cars running on plain K04s?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1551360.phtml">HSSSK04-5's intro from Feb</a></li></ul>

FWIW, I "demoed" an open straight maf housing with K&N directly attached
idle was perfect and no funny dips with clutch use. MAF values were stable at idle too, no low rpm hiccups. Only ran it for an hour or so, but I liked what I saw.
Green top injectors @ 4bar too.
No real flow straightener to speak of in that K&N IIRC.
