just buy the adapter plate it's cheap. there is a guy on ebay that sells the adapter along with a high flow filter. i got mine for less than the cost of just the adapter plate alone

Sure, as long as you switch the ECU and wiring at the same time

Why would you want to attempt a conversion on your AFM? For more accuracy?

Silverrotor,

That's so he doesn't have to spend the 20 bucks for an adapter..

Lambo,

Spend the 20 bucks on the adapter. You don't want to get mixed up with new harness, ECU, Oil metering pump, front cover, injectors, dual TPS (and throttle body). Trust me on that.

Crasher2,

Read above. And you don't want the 89 TB with the 86-88 ECU/Harness, no input for the 2nd TPS, and I can't see any flow benefits from the 89 TB.
