Thanks for the reply. It doesn't run bad, but I'm not sure that it runs as well as it could.
The reason for saying that is that last fall, I had a lot of work done on the car to replace the IMSB, clutch, RMS, AOS, 2 chains, chain tensioners, and chain wear pads - all preventive maintenance. When I got it back, the car initially was running with a noticeable increase in power. But after a while that extra power is no longer there. My understanding is that everything got reset with the battery disconnect and the car DME had to relearn the settings.
Also I notice a lag in response when I hit the gas when I'm driving at a steady about 3200-3600 rpm.
Both of these could just be the way a Boxster is supposed to handle, but I don't know whether it is related to an incorrect MAF being installed.
So how bad would it run with the wrong MAF? Would it stall, put up a CEL, or other noticeable symptoms, or it would just be less power and less responsiveness?
