Stillen and JWT's POP chargers are essentially identical.

I don't think JWT does a 90mm MAF... unless you're making 500whp+ I don't think a 90mm MAF would do any good either, especially not without a retuned ECU.

yeah only reason you would go to a 90mm maf is for boost no point if you are n/a even then 90 mm is pretty large and you better be mnaking like he said 500+ a 300zx maf is pretty good upgrade if you looking for osmething bigger what would benefit you more would be a nice cold air injen is pretty good with the k&n filter but at the same time get a pathfinder throttle body i believe they are 70 mm versus the 62 we have or 60....that way you can consume all the air you are getting from the 3 inch cold air......

Stock MAF is what, 75mm or so? That already flows enough air for 500whp... 90mm MAF won't even run properly without ECU recalibration, and hell, I don't even think a motor sucking in enough air for 600whp or 700whp would require a MAF bigger than 80mm or 84mm...

Personally, I would use either a Cattman, or iof you don't want to spend the $$$, get a Frankencar. Those are the 2 best IMO.

`99 is smaller, it's NOT a performance gain.

You do NOT make any more power with an `00-`02 Pathfinder throttlebody even with 300whp... the stock TB simply is not a restriction til well beyond that power level.

It's also NOT a bolt-on-- you'll need to have an adapter plate machined.

Don't waste your money.
