what some people do in the DSM world is they actually let unmetered air in a specific amount. (called a "hacked MAF") you then richen the Air/Fuel ratio a specific amount to compensate for that extra unmetered air. the problem some of the people have with this is that at idle, if its easier to pull the "unmetered" air then it is to get "metered" air, then you're idle and low rpm is way too rich, and runs badly. I think the way to get around this would be to instal and extra filter, such that there is "resistance" to pulling that air into the intake tract.

however, I think we may get better results just putting a very small resistor in line with the MAF wire. this would lower the voltage by a set amount (given the amperage stays the same, which it should) and would allow you to use the extra ability of the MAF, such that when it reads 5.12 volts, its sending 4.8 (since all the values are the same after 4.8 anyway)

^I'm not really thinking to well right now cause i'm extremely tired. check that and make sure i'm not too much of an idiot.
