Question Where is the MAF on C32?

Hello guys, My car is running slow when i gas it on the highway. I was thinking of changing my MAF sensor, But i don't see it anywhere. I called MB parts and they said the c32 doesn't use MAF, It something called the FLY?

Can anyone tell me where is the MAF located at on the C32?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

This motor does not come equipped with one. It uses a MAP sensor in its place. You may be having an issue with the Intercooler pump. When this fails, the water in the Heat Exchanger will get hotter and cause the intake temps to rise to a point that the timing of the motor becomes pulled back to cut down power when knock has been detected, in order to preserve the motor. There are multiple options to resolve this, either replace the pump with another Bosch/Ford Lightning pump that sometimes last 30K or upgrade to the Johnson CM30/CM90. Also the best thing to keep the temp down consistently is to upgrade the Heat Exchanger. Here's a couple websites to get you started: Code3 Performance - Home and LET Motorsports - Mercedes Tuning and Performance
