was my Siemens MAF actually good, and not underreporting as I had believed?

It's (MAF readings in g/s) around 3.5 @700 RPM....

So are you saying the MAF reading should be around 4.37 at idle?

I have a comparison from the day I switched from my stock Siemens MAF, to using the $20 ($23 then) Amazon MAF. First is the Siemens' reading, then the initial reading of the cheap MAF, and a third reading a little later on that day. I didn't zero-out my fuel trims, as I was primarily interested in the MAF readings.

Per JPuma and andrewwynn, the Siemens reading was already pretty good, but the cheap MAF readings were actually a bit high (but that kept the fuel trims from setting lean codes). Since that day, the lowest idle MAF reading I've seen was 4.1 g/s, and the highest was 6.1 g/s. I'm still hunting for a vacuum leak.
