MAF Need help find correct parts!

No throttle cable. Just the metal handle if there were a throttle cable.

Ok, then it is an E-gas.

This is the part number worldpac gives me: 0 280 218 55 bosch. 986.606.125.01 porsche #, and PM sent.

I believe the 986.606.125.01 MAF needs an ecu update for me since I will be coming from the 996.606.124.00. I will call the dealer to confirm this and how much will the ECU update will cost since I will be installing myself.

that's right i have my old MAF here in front of me (though for the price it might become a collectioner's item )
the number is 996 606 123 00 and it came from a 97 2.5 tip
so if someone has a problem with his MAF and that model is discontinued can they upgrade to a newer version as a straight swap or do they have to do different upgrades ie ECU etc..?
this is a general question which i hope will help some of our forum goers
