MAPs read vaccum and and send out voltage signals which are all interpreted by the ECU. MAP equipped vehicles usually also have other sensors, such as IAT and ICV, and others. The AFM can do all of that and then some. To do a conversion, you'll need a different ECU that can read and interpret the MAP signals, in the 3SGTE's case, probably an ST205 ECU or something. You'll also need the above mentioned sensors. From there, you repin and rewire accordingly to match the ECU.

As for the AFM, it literally has a little door on the inside that flaps. The flapping triggers different voltage signals and such to the ECU. The AFM can also measure temp, density, vaccum, and other things... but it reduces the overall intake in high-powered vehicles.
