Vendor review - no love from me.
Godspeed inc. All that I will do is state facts as I know them.
For my setup, my MAF would just not be sufficient. I learned, though, that you could trick your MAF by getting a larger MAF tube. I'd heard folks talk about 4". (Ours and all aftermarket are 3". Even, I believe, the high-flowing intakes).
I spoke to Dan at Godspeed and he said that through his testing, he found 3 1/4" to be what would be appropriate for my setup. Cool. He was a bit of a 'naysayer' though, when it came to my setup. Sort've a, "you'll put your eye out, kid". I'm not saying that I doubt his advice that the turbo I've selected for my engine is a dangerous combination; just that anytime anyone gives me advice that's opposite of what my current beliefs are, and doesn't give me any supporting information, it always sit's wrong with me.
Lastly, the bottom line is that I ordered this MAF tube before I went on my 2 weeks leave. I think somewhere around 23 Feb or so. I've called a couple of times and was told that he was waiting on a silicon connector but he expected it in soon and it would be in the mail in a day or so. Just spoke with him this morning and was told that the supplier for the silicon tube is not reliable (I told him to drop them).
I'm going to cancel my order.
Not a condemnation at all. Just stating facts as I know them as they've happened to me. He may be an awesome vendor but he won't see any more of my bidnez.

I know that my samco MAF hose was ****en huge... I'll measure it!

- about 1" was required for proper fitment and I had to buy a larger hose clamp for the side that connects to the turbo inlet hose but other than that it's all good!
