While the merits of the conical air filter are debatable, at best, I 
believe you can get such a setup from MSDS or IAP, without replacing 
your airflow meter.

If you do want to replace your airflow meter, get the big one from a 
3.2L BMW, 3.5L BMW, or 4.2L Jag (same part).  You'll also have to 
install an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, but I'm told that the 
performance gains are pretty impressive, regardless of what filter 
you go with (although the stock filter would require modification to 
the airbox).

Speaking of which, my big airflow meter is sitting in a desk drawer 
because I don't have an adjustable regulator yet.  Can anyone who has 
done this give me a part number(s) or something?  I'm reluctant to 
just buy a generic on and count on being able to eliminate the stock 
regulator--I took it to Ohio Hydraulic in Cincinnati and asked for 
some fittings so I could replace it with a T-fitting, but I don't 
have a lot of faith in the stuff they sold me.
