I should know this but I don't
What type of tool/apex bit do I use to remove the MAF sensor screws with? They're just like a torx, but they have that pesky little prong sticking up in the middle.

Major PITA Torx tamper-resistant... I don't even use the Torx bit any more....
just break em free with a pair of small needle-nose pliars then unscrew by hand. Replace em with 4x12mm stainless (or not) button head screws.
With the dozens of MAfs I see each month that have been sitting in coastal salvage yards the Torx just rounds a hole. The needle-nosed pliars havent failed me yet.
All my over-priced Stage 3 MAF's come with all new stainless hex (allen) fasteners ;-)

Re: over-priced Stage 3 MAF's? Up-coming price reduction sale? ;O)
Just kidding!
I know & understand your time, & efforts involved in producing those "custom" items!
IMO, they are the standard by which all others should be judged. Well worth their price.
Keep up the good work Mance! :O)

I'll take 2 then!
Seriously though, that's gonna be my next mod if my wife doesn't make me get rid of the A4, but I'm gonna wait until I get settled in my lovely new home in SD.

hehehe I should make a half-priced one with half the sampling tube remaining...
the "wrong" half of coarse and the screen tig'd in. Then charge 75% more to finish it.
Stage 2.5: $75
Stage 2.5-to-Stage 3 conversion: $325
with all new stainless hardware ;-)
