Re: Descreen MAF? I descreened mine.....no problem.....I ported mine...and no problem......and mine is a 98 too!.......supposedly it messes up your tranny if you have an a4 but have had no problem and I too have an a4......FWIW 98's tend to run a little rich because of the bigger injectors so I heard alot of people say it wouldn't hurt....but that's my 2 cents!...anybody else would like to chime in and beat the dead horse!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

And as stated in that thread I bought a stock MAFS and descreened it-caused MY car to ping(run lean) changed it back to screened- ping is 100%gone! I'd say if you have a way to check it (scanner of some sort) do it. If not (like me) I wouldn't recommend it.
