I don't do this to sell anything to anyone, all I want is for owners to get the best out of their cars, if their maf has failed they're free to get a replacement from anywhere they want.
I've also used a Synergy for years too, and know that using the mafam on a failing Bosch maf with too high a signal just throws the airflow readings even further out at both idle and higher up the rev range no matter what mafam setting.
In no way am I knocking the Synergy in any way, it's provided an effective simple way of boosting the performance on our cars and enabled the use of the cheaper Pierburg maf, but the Pierburg does underfuel at 3000 revs.

I think your definition of fail is different to mine.
I agree if the signal has become too high then the maf can considered to have failed and yes, boosting it even more will make matters worse.
In my experience and that of my many customers, the maf goes out of spec and underfuells the car due to a drop in signal more often than failing high. Hence the Synergy 2 and mafams work. If there was no such thing as an underfuelling maf, neither the Synergy nor mafam would work as they do and in fact I may have need to design an attenuator instead of an amplifier.
