    Is it like right at a bend or something like that?

    Does it have a screen in front of the MAF to try and help smooth out your airflow readings?

    I'd like to recommend an SD tune. That's just a MAF mess right there. Or diameter changes, directional changes, no laminar flow screen, heat sink piping. Great candidate for a remote mount IAT in the manifold, adjustment of the MAT parameters and an SD tune. Just IMHO.

    Abaco made a MAF that would help out immensely for these conditions as it was "tunable" to dampen the variation in air turbulence and average out the readings. Unfortunately they have gone out of business. I purchased a used one as a backup since without it I would need to go SD as well. Don't know if its worth doing a search for a used one or not. May be more hassle then its worth.

    I'm going to get a flow straightener and either make a new pipe or fit it in the current one.

    To me it looks like the wideband is following the rich/lean of stoich pretty spot on, if you slow it down and use your mouse you can see it rise and fall just like the o2 sensors do.

    You can turn LTFT's off if you wish, many people do.

    ill prolly turn them off. I should also add i get like a stumble, very briefly, but often, i can only assume this is from the maf. i mean correct me if im wrong but the signals should be basically smooth? looking at logs with the stock maf the lines are not nearly as jagged.
