You're pretty much bang on, the ecu can adjust to the miscalculated airflow readings, but until what point? Eventually you'll hit a point where the ecm cant adjust any further.
Im not gonna stop at intake and exhaust mods, an ecu tune should yield some huge gains and the last thing i want is the maf sensor reading the wrong amount of air and screwing everything up.

I have the stock air box w/ a K&N, but I cut the front of it open to allow for more air to flow in.

Isnt it that boost controller you're using causing that limp mode, or did you stop using it?
