I get a stored MAF code at every startup and the straw the broke the camels back is a CELlight. I put the old MAF in and the car runs fine.

I don't know if its just a bad unit, but I don't care. I'm going to try the Pelican MAF and see what haappens.
Having owned Fiats, Alfas, Triumphs and Lancias - you must feel right at home with the way your boxster is currently performing ! Seriously, though, it may be that you were either sold a defective sensor or someone on the other end didn't cross reference it correctly.
