I really don't see an option here. If the MAF is bad (it seems like it is) the engine will not run with the right fuel/air ratio. Either too lean or too rich can cause serious engine damage, from simply fouled plugs to ruined rings and bearings, valves etc.

We are talking serious money in the worst case.

Yes, you can find a local Porsche mechanic who has a better hourly rate and yes you can shop for MAF from web supply, parts stores etc. You won't save a ton but you can save some money.

And before we start bashing Porsche, I just took a Lexus in trade with a bad MAF sensor at 56K miles. Sadly, it happens to the best of them.

Please for your own sake, don't let this go.
