it's easy, if you have a torx/security torx, or vise grips >

wait'll you get it - it'll be easy to see what needs to happen. Go to Schwings Fokti site for LOTS of pics.

It's REALLY easy.

Do you know which piece the MAF is? If not, once
you get it and open the hood, you'll see it and
see what needs to be done. No tricks. Just a couple
clamps and a connector. I've got a TTDA, so I
can't remember if th stock airbox/MAF connection is
hard to remove, but you should be able to figure it out.

good luck,

scot

Unless you're getting the whole thing- housing and all in which case - no torx etc. needed

umm...it's not that easy.

of course there are several things it could be, but a safe bet is in fact to try and replace the maf; of course, it has security torx screw bits that you won't find at any normal hardware store. You can feel free to try and pick the thing apart with normal tools. But after you break the funky torx things to get them off, what will you replace them with? Might be an excellent opportunity to order a BAMM and **** from STTEve, along with a new maf.

Good luck..,.
