Hi,

You are looking for something like this:

There is no 'accelerator pump' effects with the Bosch MAF (VAF).
The flap follows the flow rate, that's all. If you see spikes
on the MAF output, that means your intake manifold needs more air.

If you replace a flap MAF with a hot-wire/film MAF you need
introducing a temperature/ambient pressure compensations.

If you never go to mountains you can omit the ambient pressure
compensation.
