Over $600 for a MAF? Crap you took it hard. I have an occasional MAF issue with the supercharger and my filter.
That MAF blade is a Bosch part that can be had at any VW dealership for about $70.
I could care less where you live but $600 is even over MSRP.

I clean my MAF every couple of thousand miles. Seems to do the trick.
No MAF prob after the EVO v FLOW fix. Last MAf was $280 from a local part shop.

Are you replacing the whole MAF for $70? I'd like to get a part # if thats the case. I know Bosch makes the part and you can buy it for $225 at various porsche part shops online and offline.

PSM ABS Light came on today.
What is the EVO v-flow fix? Bought my set from EVOMS 3 months back and just installed it...but the dreaded lights came on...PSM and ABS...Is this gonna blow my MAF?

Are you guys installing the honeyvcomb mesh grille off of your factory part when you are installing the Vflow? That is an important component to make sure you are not blowing maf's. On cars with over 600hp, you should use the newever EVOMS MAF.

Hmmm, do you mean the black elastic wire mesh sock that goes over the air filter on the V-Flow?...I kinda left that off ..thought it was more for fine dust particles.. Should it be put on?

.We have files available for this maf set up.....ironically the 30 dollar maf seems to be more robust then the Porsche part.

No, I am talking about the round about 4" in diameter, plastic mesh grill from your stock MAF housing (that comes from the airbox).

Thanks for the tip...will look into that right away......will it fit into the EVOMS air intake without any mods?

I bought a new MAF online for about $250 off ebay. Waiting for delivery, I'll let you know if everything works out. I agree though I need directions on how to pull the vflow filter off and clean it. I assume its just a loosening of the clamp and pulling it off, but when I looked at the spacing it seemed pretty tight. I'm guessing you can clean it like the B&M filter with just soap and water. Any one clean their vflow?
