Ecoboost MAF or No MAF?

Ecoboost MAF or No MAF?
Lets confirm this once and for all. Rick just mentioned that there is no maf on a recent post. Rick can you give us more detail on what sensor is on our intake? Also what's the real difference between the '11 and '12 sensors.
A catback or CAI will not change the tune sine there is a factory wideband and no MAF

If I understood our tuner correctly, it's a temperature sensor and like the previous EcoBoost vehicles there is a wideband and no MAF. I'm not sure the difference between 2011-12 though, I'll have to ask tomorrow.

From my online Ford manual. Notice where it list engines with mass air, 10th one down.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 3.5 GTDI

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
•
Catalyst Monitor Sensor (CMS)
•
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
•
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
•
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor — 3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI)
•
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
•
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor — 3.5L GTDI
•
Knock Sensor (KS)
•
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)/Intake Air Temperature 2 (IAT2) Sensor — 3.5L GTDI
•
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor — 3.7L, 5.0L (4V) and 6.2L (2V)
•
PCM
•
Turbocharger Boost Pressure (TCBP)/Charge Air Cooler (CAC) Sensor — 3.5L GTDI
•
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) Oil Control Valve — 3.5L GTDI and 3.7L
•
VCT Variable Force Solenoid — 5.0L (4V) and 6.2L (2V)
The CHT sensor:
The CHT sensor:
•
is mounted to the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages.
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating cylinder head temperature.
The CKP sensor:
The CKP sensor:
•
is mounted to the wall of the cylinder block.
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating crankshaft position and engine speed.
The CMP sensor:
The CMP sensor:
•
is mounted to the cylinder head.
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating camshaft position.
The CMS:
The CMS:
•
is mounted to the catalytic converter.
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating oxygen content in the exhaust after the exhaust leaves the catalytic converter.
The FRP sensor (3.5L GTDI):
The FRP sensor (3.5L GTDI):
•
is mounted to the fuel rail.
•
measures the pressure of the fuel rail and sends these signals to the PCM.
The HO2S:
The HO2S:
•
is mounted to the exhaust Y-pipe.
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating oxygen content in the exhaust before the exhaust enters the catalytic converter.
The IAT sensor (3.5L GTDI):
The IAT sensor (3.5L GTDI):
•
is mounted on the Air Cleaner (ACL).
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating the temperature of the air entering the engine.
The KS:
The KS:
•
is mounted to the wall of the cylinder block.
•
sends a signal to the PCM indicating engine detonation.

• Mass air flow sensor
is mounted on the ACL.
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating mass airflow rate of air entering the engine.
The MAP/IAT2 Sensor (3.5L GTDI):
The MAP/IAT2 Sensor (3.5L GTDI):
•
is mounted on the top of the intake manifold.
•
is a combination sensor.
•
measures manifold pressure and converts it to an electrical signal. This provides the PCM information on engine load.
•
sends the PCM a signal indicating the temperature of the air entering the cylinders after passing through the CAC.
The TCBP/CAC Sensor (3.5L GTDI only):
The TCBP/CAC Sensor (3.5L GTDI only):
•
is mounted to the CAC outlet tube.
•
is a combination sensor.
•
measures turbocharger boost pressure and sends this information to the PCM.
•
measures the temperature of the charge air exiting the CAC and sends this information to the PCM.

Since 3.5L does not have an "EGR System"...it doesn't need a MAF. Instead of the "EGR", the 3.5L uses cam changes to control NOx emissions. Just a thought...
