Your stock MAF will be plenty fine, Marc ran up to 13+psi of boost with no issues, though the 482, or modified 501 MAF would benefit better from removing the "bottleneck" on the intake track. Without actually going into your ECU (not the Emanage) swapping out the MAF will not accomplish much but cause more issues due to the change. It is best to stick with your stock one for now until everything settles and you can push further with things.
If you need a second MAF to maybe try out let me know, I am sitting on two 501s at the moment and 1 that is in progress of being modified to match that of the 482.
Have you changed any tune settings on the E-Manage, or do you know if Marc changed anything since it was pulled from his Galant? I know during the short period we had to work on his Galant we were battling an idle issue (fluctuating RPM like a vac leak or something). The tune he had on the E-manage before was not very well done by another shop out here, thus why we were starting to tune it ourselves.
What errors or anything are you seeing when trying to communicate with the E-Manage? It may be driver related as I had the same issue initially with it in his Galant. I can dig through my files as I believe I still have everything for the E-Manage. Shoot me an email and I will forward everything I have for it so you can try that out.
