Gains, I will quantify on the dyno - but typically on a turbo car we see nearly 10% increase across the board from just going to MAF (no other changes). I expect to see something similar for the NA.
Cost, I will put up once I get closer to release.
Here are a couple quick pics:

I'll make an announcement when its ready.
Are you still in CO?
Josh, the last place I would look for MAF sensors would be from Germany. Go look through the parts bin of Ford/GM/Hyundai/Kia. Most of those MAFs should be cheap, reliable, and can handle some power with the right housing. I know of quite a few tuners that have used Ford MAFs that seem to work wonders on FI based applications.
Not at first. To keep costs down, there will be the one style (at leas at first). You can always put on a filter adapter to the pipe, just like you could with the stock AFM...

How about issuing a cylinder option first with an adapter for the airbox, cover all bases? Seems like it would be easier but I'm no expert

I would be in for something that is plug and play. Is this going to require a modded chip? I already have the Wilk chip.
I have not eliminated the stock airbox, so the airbox fitting works for me. I've gone as far as I am comfortable with modding my afm. (I removed almost half a shot glass worth of aluminum from the inside when I got creative with my diegrinder, but I still have the same flapper door just like everyone else)

It will be plug and play, and will replace your current chip. It uses proper maf coding rather than emulation so in other words, it is just like a factory maf car.
Just answering for Joshua.

+1 a cylinder option would be good. I'm sure a lot of us have removed that airbox long ago and going from cylinder to adapter to cylinder on this would be a step backwards.

Yep, no problem.
Yes, they are on the list - expecting sometime this summer.
Obviously the gains are not going to be like a turbo car. But the price is going to be significantly less than the turbo kit...
