You car doesn't have a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. It does have a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, however.

As for the chip's - they look like they are to be inserted in a chipped OBDI ecu. I would recomend a VAFC over these.

Expect to run pig rich, and possibly loose power with theese. They contain a "generic" map which 99% of the time will do more harm than good. If you want to tune your car, get a wideband and either street tune or get it up on a dyno.
