Is there a MAF solution?

My car has gone thru 3 MAF's in the past 5000 miles. I have the v-flow oiled intake. Is there a solution? Ive heard of the non oiled filter and maybe the use of a 986 MAF. Has anyone figured out why the MAF fails and how to fix the problem?

Don't anyone take this the wrong way, but there seems to be a lot of issues with this Evo intake set up, oiled or dry! although dry is slightly better from reading the posts!

3 MAF's, mmmmmm!

My advice....talk directly to Mike or Todd at EVOMS, they will be able to sort this out for you.

A new and improved MAF is 90% complete and should be available very shortly (e.g., within the next week or two). The final tuning of the MAF is being done right now.

I didn't say it was Evo. On thew other hand, I didn't say it wasn't Evo. No need to make any calls, as I'm certain than an announcement will be posted the moment the MAF is complete and ready for distribution.

You say Po-tate-oh, I say Po-tah-to. EVO or Evoms. Build it and they will come.

I've been holding off on the filter for the MAF solution (other than a bi-monthly cleaning).

I have had no such issue at ALL with mine and I have almost 3000 miles on it....so.....will this new maf have any performance benefit for someone like me? Or is it mostly a fix to the too sensitive factory unit?

Jean and Woodster told me that the new MAF will add 45 hp at the wheels.

J/k of course. As I understand it, the new MAF is strictly to address the weakness and high fail rate of the OEM MAF.
