This is the swap brought to me by a customer. We picked up the engine trans ecu spare ecu and harness brand new lightweight flywheel and ceramic clutch for $150 if your wondering WHY CA18ET?! lol

Basically were missing a MAF sensor to have it running. I was given the engine and trans and a bad l16 still in the car. Pulled the l16 made up some mounts and an oil pan ran some wires and now need some info that seems to just not exist.

1. What MAF will work with this engine? from what I've read the det runs a different sensor and the ka, rb, sr, vg sensonr won't work without creating a lean spot in the rpm range. This car is a "chump car" and used in some endurance races so lean spot is no good for him.

2. How much boost can we run on the stock turbo before it becomes useless, and how much power should it make at the boost level.

3. Any info on the ratios in the 5 speed would be great.
Not lookig to win races or be the fastest car out there. The guy is on a budget and likes to go have some fun and beat on the car so I know the ca18et seems like a bad choice, but it's smaller lighter and had 10k on the engine when he bought it.

Thanks for any info, this google searching is killing me
