Interested in a MAF refresh here too. I heard of a 928 guy in the UK doing this, but Colorado would be much preferred.



Please do keep us posted.

Also, the wire itself is only about 7/100s of a millimeter, so extremely delicate. Absolutely cannot touch it with anything.



Finally, there's a gentleman up in Boulder, CO who rebuilds/recalibrates these for 928s. I've spoken to him and he's looking for the specs so he can also do our 968 version. He asked me to mention to everyone here to see if any others are interested.



Since the MAF goes out of calibration gradually, the effect is subtle. We had to replace the one on my wife's Lexus last summer and the change was dramatic. So hoping the guy in CO will be able to go ours.[/quote]





Do you know about how much he will charge? You can buy a Bosch Reman for about $460. Is he going to to do an exchange program or does he rebuild the one you send in? Curious because I may need to look at getting a new one.



Thanks...

OK, so I'm trying to decide whether to go with the Air Box Mod or a K&N Filter, such as this: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?...leadExists=true



Any comparisons or experiences with both? Any feed back would be great! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> Thanks guys.

yes - if you read the article, you would find that we tested both



the airbox mod, done the way it is depicted in the article, makes more power - the cone filter only makes about 70-80% of the power of the mod

There is a stock airbox on ebay, if someone wants an extra.

Just got my first K&N clean and oil kit.

So, do you oil only the inside of the filter

the outside of the filter

and only area the farthest away from the oses?

i just found out recently that the kits some people get are not the same as mine - mine has an aerosol can - the others have a squirt bottle - if yours is the latter, get yourself a spray bottle and dump the oil into that



then, spray the entry side only - that's the side that faces the intake opening, not the engine - very lightly - misting - a couple of seconds only

Only if you don't want your eggs to stick to your air filter.
