Found this thread by chance while browsing through Renntech for instructions to remove my softtop : http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=906

Much as I hate to, all this bhp/torque loss with the Evo intake may be due to a faulty MAF afterall

I'm still asking whether the dealership can tell reliably through their diagnostic equipment that my MAF is faulty rather than IMPLYING it's faulty because of a too rich air/fuel ratio. It'll probably cost me $1,000 to change the damn thing

Arrrgh!

While I'm on this, does anyone knows whether the S model uses the latest MAF model? Reason I'm asking if my car is already using the later model of MAF, I can just buy it off the web and replace the thing myself without having the dealership to re-program the DME to recognise the new model MAF. Will save me some money....
