I have allways liked the idea of a twin air filter, twin runner intake for the SVX, as discribed by Terry McLane, years ago, and now that we know our MAFs max out at 250 hp, or so, this mod might pay off on cammed, or big block 3.3+ engines.

With 1/2 as much air travelling through our stock MAF, it would not be any where near maxed out, so could we just use some form of voltage transformer to double the reading so that the ECU uses the stock, or modified timing maps?

Perhaps a LAN chip, one stock MAF, and a twin intake, twin filter raises the NA, or SC, or NOX engine limits, for the intake components to 500 hp now?!

Now, if some smart guy, Harvey, LAN, Mychailo, Mark(5), can tell us which MAF to use, and how to wire it, all we have to do then is plumb it!

I'm assuming the custom intake and plenum chamber in gest's pic is feeding two turbos?

If you want to go with Terry McLaine idea, surely one MAF is enough, without complicating the voltage and getting two devices to feed a signal to the ECU?

It looks to be totally symmetrical, so there is no reason to assume that one half is getting more air than the other half, they should be equal.

Once the two feeder tubes are equal in length, diameter and are as smooth as each other, then reading the air flow through one of the pipes will be linearly proportional to the air the both turbos together are sucking in. And this signal will be the voltage the ECU recognises and expects if the stock MAF is used.

Taking this a step further, provided the stock maf is only "seeing" 220 hp or 230 hp as per the NA setup, then it should be possible to use the turbos to generate 440 to 460 hp without going past the max of the stock MAF, because we are now taking in twice the air volume.

Am I seeing this in an oversimplified way, or are my deductions correct?
