no, the MAF sensor needs to be attached to MAF port on your intake.(if there is one).

pictures of the intake on your car¿

thats the WHOLE intake¿ if so, no wonder your car wont rev up. you need a MAF port on the intake itself to attach the MAF sensor to it and then the intake hose attached to the tube on top of the intake thats pictured.

Best solution: return\sell that intake and put your stock box back on. that intake will feed hot air into the engine and lose performance\gas mileage. the sound from the intake isnt worth the poor performance coming from it.
