Am getting all the problems mentioned in PSM & ABS search "MAF".

And before I buy a new MAF and have to get rid of the exspensive intake kit, I would like to know why this happens ???

To free flowing causing to much air going past MAF and voltage reads to high resulting in blown MAF ?

It isn't oil as the filter isn't oil based like a K&N

Thanks

do a searhc there tons of info on it here , its a well known issue with that intake.

 

I was reluctant to run my V Flow with my setup but so far, knock on wood, I haven't had any MAF issues.

 

I have searched but nobody says why it is only there kit ?

Yeah all have performance airfilters but why EVO one ?

 

I am currently having the same problem...and trying to figure out if it is better to go stock or get the Hitachi upgrade. Anyone know how much for the MAF and program?

 

Just looked at std intake it has 2 mesh like plates before air gets to MAF so I guess this part of the reason why EVO intake fails as it doesn't have anything

 

^^sorry to hear about what happened. =( i had some issues with the K&N on our 996. we have to take it off.

 

Agency power intake runs a K&N so do they fail aswell ?

 

^^ours and a friend with a the same year as our pcar had the same problem as us. after installing, our CEL would come on..then go off....etc. we cleaned everthing, made the sure everything had been correctly installed but it didn't get any better. our mechanic told us to have it uninstalled before it caused any more problems.

that's just 2 instances that i know of personally. i know many people have used K&N and have had good luck and are very happy with the result. maybe the 99 996's are extra sensitive to having the CAI installed. not sure.

 

did u take the waffle insert out of your stock intake and put it into the evoms? if not do so.. i ran the evoms vflow with the waffle to 650 hp... ran it for a year and had no problems

The issue is the oil in the filter. You can remove the oil and run them dry. Evoms filters probably come with more oil in them than the other filters available. Their are some high performance dry filters available.

 

No I was never told to, when I looked at it it look like it was part of the casing.

Company I bought it of said they will swap it for the agency power intake don't know if it is any better performance wise ? but also concerned about the K&N now..

 

No oil on my filter it is a stainless steel mesh one, so why mine fail ??
