MAFT Pro or something newer/better now

The boost control functionality does require a MAP sensor to be installed. Unfortunately due to some limitation (the specifics of which I do not remember) boost control wasn't an option even in a hybrid setup (both MAF AND MAP installed, I won't go any further into this type of setup). So, yes. For boost control you have to run speed/density. I usually recommend that people with little to no experience who want to do it on their own that they start with setting it up for a MAF without using boost control or ignition control and then once they're comfortable with it and have some idea how it SHOULD behave then switch to the S/D setup.

Turbonicsperformance, the newer devices do have a bit more kick to offer even stock setups. I do love the original MAF-T though... simple and smooth. A pretty elegant unit. But then I start thinking about the other functions I want and it's either a dash full of piggybacks and data cables or a MAFT Pro or standalone.

In my opinion, if you can afford it without choking standalone is and always will be 'top dog'. The MAFT-Pro is really an amazing piece of hardware. It's as close to a standalone as is possible for a piggyback to be. You could say that the Gen II is then only a couple steps lower. Sorry to say that everything else just sits in a pile at the bottom of the ladder.
