Default where do u get that locked torx screw driver?
i was making a new 2.9" MAF and when i was about to remove that MAF sensor out of the factory housing, i relized it had two lock torx (the ones with dimple in the middle) screws.

I checked few tool shops and I had hard time making them understand what I was looking for and they didn't know either...

any clues?

Default The new MAF I bought wasn't a security torx...
it only had 5 points, not 6.

So I had to use the VAG-1234 "vise-grip" tool to get them out
