    Quick E36 Air mass meter question

    Hey guys.

    As part of my search for goodies, an air mass meter that is tunable at higher rpm is desired.

    I know the Porsche "805" I believe is the last three is the hot ticket (and priced accordingly) but does it plug directly into the S52 wiring harness?

    Similarly, the Euro meter- (806) does that plug directly into the stock harness?

    I don't want to cut up my harness and want a clean, oem looking install.

    I'm thinking Euro meter and airbox with the M50 intake and (maybe) a opened up throttle body but I don't think the TB is the bottleneck- even the meter diameter is fine but it maxes out well before redline so it causes a big compromise...

    Thanks!

    3.5" intake, MAF and throttle body is a waste of time. No power gain here.

    It's a waste of time if you don't understand it.

    The stock meter flows plenty but tops out about six grand and then defaults to base maps, rendering it useless.

    The other meters can operate at higher rpm / flow rate before topping out and therefore can be tuned accurately to 7500 or more.

    Thank you.

    Now do you know the connector configuration or not?
