Default AFM Question

Hey all,

Just wondering what the difference was between stock wrx my98 AFM and v3-4 sti AFM were?

Are there any benefits with having the v3-4 sti AFM over having the stock standard WRX AFM?

Thanks ahead for your input.

Completely different. WRX one is 80mm, STI is 90mm. They run at different voltages I believe as well.

If the sticker is different, then the part number is different, not a straight bolt up job.
If the diameter of the tube is different also, it will affect the MAF scaling, eg, the voltage/airflow relationship.
