    I read a post here that said something about having to solder a MAF extension when using the TCAI. Can anyone validate this? Is there any way to get around this? Thanks, Bill.

    Why wouldn't they just put the MAF sensor closer to the stock location? It looks like I'll have to go with a different company now.

    URD has a subforum here in the vendors area, you should try posting there asking why. Or send them an email, they are quick to respond. I didn't solder my connections, just stripped wire and put them in weatherproof bunt connectors heat-shrinked. Should be good enough, solid connection and wires are crimped to the connector so they stay connected.
