Just ordered a Turbosmart 1.5/twin scroll 2.7 Kompact EM BOV VR2 50/50 to replace the stock BPV. Anyone have a 50/50 BOV you can comment on, so far as where you noticed a difference other than the 'PSSSH' sound factor? Maybe less lag on initial acceleration, better throttle response between shifts, smoother power over the power band? I'd much appreciate your comments.

It was very common on mid 2000 to 2010 legacy cars, my 2000 Grand Marquis had a MAF and an IAT separate, but 2003 it was IAT attached to the MAF sensor module. But on a vehicle without a MAF? Or anything not legacy?

1004ron - thank you for your response. As for the map sensors, I can confirm the AI search below having 2 map sensors is correct. I located both of them on my engine by their FoMoCo part numbers. As for the integrated IAT/MAF sensor performing different functions within the same assembly, I respectively believe my original post is correct. See attached picture ... just disregard the CRC cleaner I sprayed on my hand. I'm too old to get cancer from it before I bite the farm... lol! 'The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor and Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor are not the same component but are commonly integrated into a single assembly on many modern vehicles, particularly Fords (like the DS7A-12A697-AA part). The MAF measures the amount of air, while the IAT measures the temperature.' it ... lol! before I eat the farm

I believe your assumptions are incorrect. The IAT isn't sensitive to fouling. These days an MAP has taken the place of the MAF - the MAP is way less sensitive to fouling compared to the MAF and its very rare that it requires cleaning. My 2017 2.7L has 123K miles on it and its never needed carbon removal. .
