Question about effect I had after cleaning MAF meter.

Question about effect I had after cleaning MAF meter.
I just cleaned it and I noticed the car is more responsive when I hit the gas. I noticed that at times when I push the gas hard now, the pull is like a freight train. However, sometimes its much slower. When it pulls well, I can hear a louder reving sound even when I let off the gas. Is that the turbos kicking on? Is there a way to always have that kind of pull without upgrading hp of course? Sorry if I sound retarded....I tried to explain it best I could.

A well-functioning MAF makes a HUGE improvement in the car's response vs one that is "dirty" so to speak.

Just cleaned my MAF yesterday, and noticed a better throttle response also. It seems from idle to about 2500 rpms, it is more smooth and linear feeling. This is my fourth cleaning of the MAF with the V-Flow, and the car runs so much better afterwards. Kinda like getting a fresh oil change.

Something else to consider is how much boost are you making? The stock diverter valves are notorious for not holding boost and giving inconsistent power. Going to a set of billet diverter valves is an easy and fairly inexpensive fix.

I cleaned mine yesterday. No problems. The car has 16K mi on her (10K of those with an oiled filter). I did not notice any power increase but the car runs smoother at low rpm and does not threaten to die anymore when cold....

the diverter valves are suprisingly inexpensive about $150 Baileys or EVO just had mine done before a DE. What is expensive is when you want to also do the turbo boost hoses. It is a good idea also to go to the silicone high pressure hoses as the factory rubber fail. five hoses to the diverters, turbos and intercooler $1350. Piece of mind priceless!
