Sho-nuff, I got a really el-cheapo china knockoff off of fleabay and knocked the screen out of it and then (the important part) took my sensor out of my 68mm MAF and put it in place of the sensor in the 74mm MAF. Thanks to a very nice gentleman (which this forum is just full of) I get a new gasket and did the install all by myself. I was having a little trouble with seating the gasket (because it did not want to stay in the groove in the TB) but after solving that little annoying situation, it went very well. I was extra careful (because I want to only do things like this once) and when I fired that ****** up it was like I was after my first sexual encounter. Yeah it was that good! Took a few for both my pulse and the idle to slow down! After a few burps of the throttle it kinda relearned and settled right down. Just for $hits n grins, I did a throttle reset (after it was pretty much settled down) and been grinnin ever since! I think if you are very careful in reseting all your hoses and make sure you seat that 'O' ring gasket (providing you have a good TB) you'll be very happy with the pep your girl has!
