Just wondering if it's OK to remove the mass airflow sensor screen on my 95 Disco to increase airflow slightly?(or won't it make any difference) I have a K&N airfilter and a high flow exhaust. I thought I read somewhere that you could do it.....

I wouldn't, if I were you. It won't make enough difference in airflow for you to feel, and that's the case with any vehicle. That screen is kinda a last-ditch effort to catch any crap that somehow slips past the air filter (believe me, it's possible). I've had the MAF screen catch tiny bits of leaves and other little crap that I didn't think could get past the filter, but I'm sure glad the screen caught it. Just wipe the screen thoroughly with a rag or something from time-to-time to wipe the dust build-up off and get any other trash that may be there and you'll do fine.

But the real reason the screen was put there is to smooth out the airflow before it reaches the Mass-Air-Flow sensor, allowing for the most accurate reads of incoming air volume.....

Yes Scott is correct here. Leave the screen. You want more power? It will cost you , it always does...

cost?
like 4.10 gears?

By Kyle Van Tassel (Kyle) on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 02:17 pm: Edit

Yes , something like that. That will insure you some power...
