T-20 or T-10 that is the ?

For the heads up! Wonder if the MY matters? I think a new MAF sensor is in my near future, so great find!

Advance has a set of security torxs for about $10.

Along those lines, why are so many folks having MAF issues? My car is nine years old, with an Evo Hi-Flo cone filter (oiled) and I have never had an issue. Clean living, I guess...

My guess is there aren't too many nine year old Boxsters out there with as few miles as yours. How many miles are you up to now?

You make an interesting point. My vehicle also has an Evo intake, and the last time it was in for upgrades, I asked them to check/clean the filter (yeah, I know, I should have done it myself) . In any case, instead of letting the filter dry thoroughly and re-oiling it, they simply blew it out with an air hose and reinstalled it . In hindsight, I believe that this may have led to the demise of my sensor .

all i can say is Harbor freight . That is the place to get cheapo tools . just got an air powered wrench for like 20 bucks. Do any of you guys run the BMC air filter ? do they cause any kind of troubles ?

BMC should be no issues out of the box (lightly oiled). Just use caution to not over-oil after cleaning. Recommend setting on newspaper for a day or two before inserting just in case on both accounts though . . .

Good luck
