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.

[quote name='Tom in Austin' post='35148' date='May 7 2007, 10:49 AM']Something else to be aware of ... the MAF cleans itself every time you turn off the engine. After a 30 second pause it heats briefly to something like 1,000 degrees to burn off anything that's on the wire.
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...
