Yes, they are visually identical, except for the OE identification number.

That is the tricky part. They do not actually 'measure air flow' the air moving thought it pushes on the plunger, which in turn changes voltage/resistance values. The ECU then interpolates those values and adjusts fuel mixtures accordingly, along with the referencing the Boost/MAP sensor.

So if using an N350 AFM, the value presented to the ECU might not be the same level as the N370 AFM, and therefore I would think would cause a lean condition.

Where is REted when you actually need him????
