Don't know how much your AFM will be but consider replacing it with
a megasquirt ecu and map sensor - this mightn't be suitable but dollar for dollar it may work out cheaper - range rover AFM can be anywhere up to $400

Most aftermarket ecu's use a built in map sensor instead of an airflow meter so you won't need it anyway

As already suggested, get rid of it and run a MAP sensor. Your air inlet system will then be a lot easier to plumb and seeing as you're going to be using an aftermerket ECU it won't matter what you use.
