FYI - You'll also need a T20 Torx type of socket to remove and replace the MAF.

As I remember, it is the "tamper proof" torx type fastener that needs to have a hole in the center of the torx bit. Look carefully at it before buying the tool.

£2225.55 = $3,389. Cannot believe the dealership has the daring to attempt such highway robbery! :barf:

This must be the new updated solid gold mass air flow sensor!!

Yep it is the tamper proof torx and T20 is the size you need. Did it on a friend's Boxster two weekends ago. Spent more time trying to get the electrical connector on the MAF off than anything else! Still not more than a 30 minute job, even for a first timer.

well all changed took me about 20 mins runs like a dream tick over seems better to
