Yes. You can use the stock MAF.

What are you looking at getting?

i have a 6.0 lq4 low compression truck motor and wanting to use a gt45 70mm ebay turbo i had on a blow thru project wanna stay around 8-10 psi was told by a tuner i needed a 3 bar map sensor and some type of air valve cuz he said i couldn't use the mas airflow, all of the ls turboed cars i've seen on youtube i did't se a mas any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Well from what I've read over on the other site, people use the MAF in a blow through set-up. Others use Speed Density with a 3 bar MAP sensor.

I don't know why it would be any different for a turbo than a supercharger set-up. I'm currently using my stock MAF on my SC.

From what I've read, the closer you have the MAF to the stock location, the better off you are.

I don't really understand the desire to run the MAF on boosted cars......just go sd with a good reputable tuner and be done with it. I could see how it would make the tuning easier down low but a good tuner should be able to get a sd tune nailed down.

Lately I been thinking on getting a turbo for mine
eBay turbos sell by a great price. But I wonder how good they are.

Any advice on that?

They had trouble getting the MAP sensor to work on my car, hence why we ended up using the MAF.

do you remember what map sensor it was?

No, but I can find out.
