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 have a evo maf for sale if your interested. Brand new.

[4g63tcrazy]

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!

[asshanson]

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

Shitty man.

That really sucks. At least it only messed your maf up instead of your turbo.

It is a foam element made by UNI which are huge in the off-road and motorcycle circles. I used to run their filters in my motorcycles and run one in my ATV and have never had an issue. They seem to do a good job of stopping the dirt/dust too which is good since the Vibrant and Buschur ones don't.

Bummer!, at least its a simple fix. I think your old filter knew it was going to be replaced!

[HiImBrian]

scheides that does really suck. But let me tell you a little bit about bad luck. I sold my dsm for a reliable subaru rs and it flippin died on the way back from the guys house. Think the timing belt went. So right when you think you've got it bad, there's always somebody worse. That's about the only thing keepin me goin right now haha

[turbotalon1g]

^suby reliable?
Sorry to hear man, Good luck with the new filter. lucky some guy just took out his HTA88 a few weeks ago on a DSM

[scheides]

wow thx for all the well wishes guys! I have a few lines on new mafs already, and new filter is here on monday, so she'll be right as rain soon enough.

Glad to hear its okay, it could have got worse if it went through the screen on the maf, it prolly would of made it into the turbo this time :S

but shitty man, stop buying eba... er. buschur filters :P

LOL so true

Buschur has a good gig going on though. He was buying those things for $12 and reselling them for $60, now he buys the Vibrants w/ MAF adapter for ~$35 and resells them for $80.

[Goat Blower]

Just rip out the honey combs and tune it for such. I'm guessing that's all that's wrong with your maf. Honeycombs are for the weak anyways.

Woot! Thanks mike55112! New MAF is in-house and ready to rock!
