MAS Sensor Input to ECU

[ethand]

I was having a discussion last weekend at the track regarding fouled MAS units on my race car. I believe several of the Spec guys are also seeing the same issues. During the conversation I found out the Cup Cars do not have a MAS they use the throttle position sensor for the voltage input to the ECU.

I know of at least one Boxster that has done this and no longer has a MAS. That got me thinking about wether any of the aftermarket guys could make this change in the stock Boxster ECU to allow this for much less than a Cup Car ECU would run.

Thoughts?

Well if they can do it, have the same fuel efficiency and no idle problems and not cost more than an arm and a leg, I would go for it cause always worrying about damaging the MAF is a real pain.

Guess that is one caviot: I am not too worried about fuel efficency or smog as this is a track only car.

Hoever, I believe it would be a cost savings in the long run.
