Re: MAF

Don't know, that's why I'm asking if someone here has experiences with this maf.

Re: MAF

With all the junk mags out there might be better off with a Used Bosch or new Delphi.

Re: MAF

  • Dual Wire Technology ensures twice the durability
  • Platinum wires used on each sensor
This is what the manufacturer says about this maf..

Re: MAF

MAF arrived today, it has indeed TWO heated wires, heat sinks ,and two screens.
Inside looks very different from the new Wells MAF I have as well. ( no wires and just one screen).
If it works, it's a real bargain imo.

So I gotta send ya a 10 spot to find out if I should buy a spare?

All good, for sure update when you try it...dang I recall when hit and miss MAF's sold for 3 times that, Wells used to make a good one, but hasn't been an option for a long time.
