    Its done on a flow bench with the representative intake plumbing. Virtually every sensor or actuator is characterized independent of the vehicle.

    That is what I thought. Care to elaborate why when it is unmodified on that stock vehicle/location that it needs to be recalibrated? Or does it? Most seem to think it does. I'm sure the OEMs go through a lot of effort to characterize it. I'm asking because i know you were an OEM calibrator.

    Typically it does not need to be altered. Hence why I run MAF only and dial in the VE tables by data logging the VEs on a running engine. I can get the VE tables very close using MAF data and a histogram.

    Is there a "how to" posted on this method somewhere? That sounds interesting.

    I suppose it depends on a few things...age of the vehicle, engine/hardware health, what you consider enough error to justify recalibration, etc.

    Yes, I wrote a thread on it. It incorporates fueling correction, so if you wanted to strip that out and populate VE from MAF only, remove the fuel trim part of the parameter.
