So I guess it works with a MAP because with different air temps the same cubic volume of air can have more or less pressure because of it's density. The MAP would register this and the MAF wouldn't (based on design?). Am i in the ball park?

If this is the case would/could it be possible to physically heat the air "downstream" of the MAF (if it works with a MAP then why bother) and ahead of the combustion chambers and would it make any difference?

p.s. I posted pics of my "Poor man's WAI" but they don't look very good. Any comments would be appreciated from anyone. Even if they are just to laugh at me. I'm a big boy, I can take it.
