Default Dual MAF sensor conversion to single?

Forgive my absence champs... Ive been mad busy with life. As well as having a squirrel type attention span to cars as of late. I still plan on turboing my 07 (rear mount ) BUT before going that route I need to figure out the Dual intake Dual MAF debacle. Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I turbocharged my 86.5 Supra, I used Supra Turbo wiring, sensors and ECU. One snag was the knock sensor. The Turbo Supra had two knock sensors and the non turbo came with one. Rather than drilling and tapping the block for another knock sensor, I spliced the wiring of the second knock sensor into the connector of the original knock sensor so that both inputs were receiving the same output. It worked back then. I don’t know if the LS460 ECU would like it if you did the same with the MAF but it’s a thought.

It just seems logical that one could splice the Sensor wires converting to a single... as long as the Volt was reading the same!? Wether I give up on the boost idea (which I won't) it's still something I gotta tackle because I'm gonna punch a intake through the driver headlight. I love my car enough and Im not really going the VIP 20in + traditional route

Would this be your first turbo project?

I'd reach out to Sector7,as he'd already starting tuning LS460s.
If I still had mine,I'd love to pick Steve's brain at Sector7 about the possibilities of swapping ISF heads and cams,with one of his ECU tunes.

Just getting the limiter removed makes these cars 175 capable.

I know that the HKS supercharger kit. Still retains dual MAF sensors and they are behind each other .

nice car man, ive gotten a little bored of mine as well, but im just now piecing together the last parts to do a full suspension swap, hoping that makes me fall in love again (i think it will)

What size wheels are you on? what are you lowered on?
