What the hell is up with the Wells' MAF?!?!

I have called six parts stores here in Dallas and all of them said the same thing, "I wont touch wells with a 10 foot pole!" So what is the deal with these guys are their parts bad quality or something. I can get a Bosch replacement from TPIS for 249.00 and wanted to know what you guys think I should do?

In the power adder board someone posted something about a wiring harness being available so you can use a ford MAF on TPI. If my MAF ever goes that is what I am doing. The ford ones can be picked up used all over the place for a few bucks... and you can upgrade to a larger MAF too. I wonder how expensive the harness is tho.

You could get them alot cheaper than that though.... I got a remanufactured bosche MAF from a local (Cee-Kay) part store for about $100.
