Possible to delete maf sensor?

Hi I was thinking about relocating my coolant reservoir to near my air box and getting an air intake relocation kit from airifix to where my coolant reservoir is now. To install the intake relocation I would need to delete my maf sensor. Is that at all possible and how do I do it?

I believe that the MAF sensor provides one of the most critical signals to the ECU, determining fuel system behavior. I assume you are not planning on running a carburetor.

So no.

Cheers,

Charlie

You don’t need to worry about a cold air intake on this car, just a free flowing intake. A bugger intercooler will be more beneficial for intake temperature.
