BOSCH sells them to private sellers for cheap, instead of putting them in the garbage. It's not that they don't work, they are just not meeting specs for a Porsche Car. Often called aftermarket MAFs e.g. eBay MAF sensor or those you find at 200~300 here and there.
The reason the P dealership's is $500+ is because it is a 'sensor' that actually been scrutinised and works as it should

Thats my understanding too. Hmmm. So my dilemma is to pay about $450 from Suncoast for a real one, or take a chance on a $130 Bosch. I googlated the Bosch part no., (not the Porsche part no.) and all the hits refer to porsche applications, so it seems they are only made for Porsche, so the ones out there for sale outside the dealership are all rejects.
Well, for the time being, the old one works, so at least I have some time to decide.
