The MAF could conceivably just be dirty. Unscrew and unplug it, grip it by the plastic (be sure not to touch the sensor itself) and spray it with electrical contact cleaner (or specialized MAF cleaner if that makes you happy). Save on parts and labor if nothing was wrong.

I appreciate the fact that you would like to save me money, but I had my Boxster at my local Porsche Center to fix my tiptronic tranny and they said it´s no point of cleaning it. Obviously, they want to make as much money out their customers, but I´d like to have peace of mind and just replace it with a new part.

So, anyone know if I´m safe to get the 125.01 and just update the DME software or do I HAVE to get the 124.00 one?
