Seriously, karma hates me right now.

The other day after filling my car back up with BP92 and dialing in AFR's, I started hitting fuel cut (or it seemed to be fuel cut). I could NOT figure out the issue, did bunch of logs, blah blah blah.

Today I found the problem :(

Looks like my MAF gave up its life for the airfilter shootout. And my perrin filter is due to arrive on monday. Now I remember why I dislike this style of filter!

This same thing happened on my 2G DSM, but that car had MAF-T on it in blow-through. I had a bastard20g/sleeper16g on the car at the time (thank god!) so the metal cap got stuck in the turbo inlet, about 5mm from the compressor wheel.

Anyone got a good condition maf for sale?

Shit sorry to hear. If I had a nickle for everytime I seen this happen, well I might have a couple dollars... I see this far too often, and is why I will never run a filter like that. It may increase your filtering surface area slightly, but not worth the risk. Mine is just solid on top.

ABout that Perrin one you're getting though, is it just the spongy kind of filter element? Just like the HKS kind of sponge ones that were known to get sucked to bits?

I cannot say how many times I've seen that metal piece let loose and ruin turbo's.. Good thing you only ruined the honey comb!

Sucks to hear man.
Makes me want to change my air filter even more now.
