I have built and sold over 500 iintake systems (VTDA and TTDA) for the Audi/VW 1.8T engine based on K%N cone filters. This engine uses basically the same Motronic system as the Boxster (Maf based). I have had no problems with MAF fouling except when an owner, doing his first cleaning and re-oiling, gets a little too aggressive with the oil spray.
MAF's go bad. K&N's don't necessarily accelerate that problem.
