MAF sensor, 2nd time in a week

Brought my 02 Boxster in to Vancouver West Motors after I noticed weird idling (randomly jumps to 2000 RPM every few minutes), white smoke on ignition and the Check Engine Light comes on.

$810 later, I was told that this was due to the MAF sensor, which was replaced. Less than 50km later, I've got the same problem. Called Vancouver West Motors again and was told that Boxsters (and boxer engines) air flow runs rich with oil, which is why they tend to burn a lot of it and that if cleaning the MAF sensor didn't work this time, I'd have to consider an engine replacement.

Any ideas? Am not really keen on replacing the engine, but am hoping there's a simpler explanation for this.
