I believe if you disable it the car won't go at all. Then you won't have a problem!! No problems!

In the Chevy LS1 Gen 3, and I presume the Gen 4 6.0L, you can get what they call a MAFless tune. They reprogram the ECU and you actually remove the MAF sensor. Not sure if there are people doing this for other cars.

the maf sensor gives the correct air flow to the motor for the most efficient fuel combustion. the problem is that it also controls the turbo operation ,via a vaccum actautor, take the sensor out and use a good carby type cleaner to take scale off the hot wire sensor . regular descaling should help.
