MAF Removal

[np89]

Hey guys, just looking for a bit of advice. Getting my UK Single Auto mapped this weekend on a standalone (piggybacked because of the autobox), which I had hoped would facilitate the complete elimination of the need for the MAF, however the mapper who is doing it seems to think that the MAF plays a part in autobox control, however, I am aware that JDM cars didn't have a MAF and still ran the same autobox, so is there a way round this on a UK car to make it read off a MAP signal instead of relying on the MAF?

 

Sorry if that seems a bit conveluded or daft, as I dont fully understand how it works so perhaps someone a bit more knowledgable or tech saavy could fill in the blanks for me?

 

Thanks

Niall
