The MAF on most M96 engines SUCK plain and simple.

My Dad's 01' 996 c2 blew a MAF stock in 30k
My 99' 986 blew one at 55k with a K & N

Look around on Porsche forums,there are accounts of them failing left and right,stock or modified intake set-ups doesn't matter.

THEY BLOW ANYWAYS SO GIVE THEM A REASON TO BLOW!

About the Evo set up,they are both oil and paper based cone filters hooked up to them. I called Evo and they said their system is oil based but when I went to a shop around that was selling them it was the same exact Evo set up with a paper cone filter.

Are you concerned with breaking your old one? I always say I'll keep it for when I sell, then I sell and the part sits around until I throw it away. There really won't be a reason to put it back on. Heck the buyer can't even see it. Probably wouldn't even know what they were looking at if they did. If you look at my link below the pic is where it needs to um... be in two? If you don't care about breaking it the job will take no more than 1-1/2hr.

Mine was oiled paper like a K&N but not excessively. No problems. Except oem removal.
