Default maf

Can I fit a ST170 MAF to my 1.8?
Will it make any differences, or will I need to change my ECU for it to take full effect?
If i was to fit it will i see any 'check engine lights' or any hesitation in my throttle response?
Cheers

I cant quite see why you would want to to be honest.... All it is is an air flow meter to measure the amount of air coming into the engine, can't see how changing it for one that isn't for your car would benifit in any way?

Yer I thought it wouldn't make a lot of difference as they just send info to the ECU.
I just know of one lying about and wondered.
Cheers for reply!

This will have no benefit at all.
