Product Overview
Bosch VAF to 3” Intake Adapter | Flapper/Vane MAF Adapter – 76mm Air Filter Conversion
Upgrade your vintage airflow system with this Bosch VAF to 3" Intake Adapter, designed to allow modern 76mm (3-inch) cone air filters or intake tubing to be mounted directly to older Bosch flapper/vane-type MAF sensors.
With a bolt pattern of approximately 82 x 37mm, this adapter fits a wide range of 1980s–1990s vehicles, including classic BMW, VW, Mazda, Peugeot, and Toyota models.
Ideal for custom intake builds, turbo conversions, or replacing restrictive factory intake boxes — while preserving your vehicle’s original VAF sensor.
Important Use Note: Only use PLA for test fitting. For actual driving, use PETG, ABS, ASA, or any high-temp filament (minimum 80°C glass transition) to avoid collapse or damage under heat.
