I had my car in the shop last year and ended up having the MAF replaced. The shop I took my car to advised getting one from the dealership . It was a bit more expensive ($260) but not prohibitively and the reason they advised doing this was because of the 2 yr warranty on Porsche OEM parts. If I ever have a MAF issue within 2 years I can easily take it back with my receipt and they would exchange it.

I felt the tradeoff in price was worth it as MAFs are one of those components that can perfectly fine out of the box and work indefinitely or jacked up out of the box and/or fail quickly.

Just something to consider.
