-====== Airflow Options ====== 
-With the release of ECMLink, users have the option to run any number of different mass airflow solutions. ​ They can run a Mitsubishi MAF sensor (1G, 2G, EVO8), any one of a number of GM MAF sensors, or they can run speed density. ​ This page outlines some of the considerations of each. 
  
-If you're not sure how airflow plays into the grand scheme of engine management, then please read the [[engineandecu101|Engine and ECU operation page]] first.

-===== Mitsubishi mass airflow sensors ===== 
-The "​standard"​ options include a 1G DSM, 2G DSM, or an EVO8 (3G Eclipse) mass airflow sensor. ​ Some things to note with these follow. 
- 
-  * Must be installed in front of the turbo. 
-  * Generally provide very accurate airflow data and work well with our ECUs. 
-  * Are insensitive to changes in engine VE and atmospheric conditions. 
-  * Are usually easy to install, but that does depend on how you plan to run your piping before/​after the turbo. 
-  * Can provide some minimal restriction to airflow to the turbo. ​ This can be a hot topic for debate, though. ​ We generally feel this restriction is minimal at best and for most people should not be a major consideration. 
-  * Uses both IAT and baro inputs to the ECU (preventing you from connecting other sensors to those inputs for logging). 
-  * Have some very real limitations on airflow metering capacity. ​ This is particularly problematic for the 1G DSM sensor. ​ The 2G DSM is better and the EVO8 is really very nice.  Some details on the limits can be found on our [[maffrequencylimits|MAF Data page]].
