So I just did an intake on my 04 legacy, and when I started it, it idled really low to the point where it would almost die, and when I would get on the gas I had no power at all, my buddy told me it could be the mass air flow sensor was reading that it was getting to much air, he said if I just got rid of the maf it would stop, so is it safe to not have the maf in it?
