Did you use all the 987 air box including the tube the holds the MAF? If so check the ID of the original and the 987. If the 987 is larger it will though off the CPU.

Yeah I installed the entire 987 box from a Cayman. The Maf attaches directly to the larger tube housing.

I was under the impression that this system could learn and adapt to changes such as this, apparently that is not the case. I got some bad intel it seems. Oh well.

My MAF tests at .9 volt key on, 1.3-1.5 at idle. Should be fine.

I currently have the 987 MAF that came with the used box in there, just to try something different. Now I will put the new one back it and test it for volts.

I also just installed a temporary restriction, to reduce the tube diameter inside the housing before the MAF. It's snowing again today, so I have to wait to road test this.

My car also has Cal emissions, I wonder if I should just go and get it flashed for ROW?
