Default porting MAF...
i got the maf out and the two metal halves apart, now to remove the screen. does it just rip all to pieces coming out or is there a way to re-use it?

DONT RIP IT OUT!!! People have made too many mistakes porting the MAF and a removal of the screen will most likely cause problems.

i removed mine, just by gently prying it out (yes there is such a thing), the sides will crinckle and the screen will be garbage....i did mine with no negative effect on the car although there are many peole who have had this mod and have had problems w/ how the car runs....this is a fairly common subject so if u search there should be plenty of info..

p.s. i didnt port mine, i just removed the screen..maybe 1 hp gain at max on stock motor maybe slightly more for a more built motor.... looking back the risks arent worth the gain... but i guess i was lucky... the choice is up to you

That comment is because this is probably the A-#1 mod not to make, that has been discussed over and over again.

Note the user title for the person who posted that comment...

Not that you should already know this, but a little searching and reading some of the sticky's would go a long way.

I almost said something as well. Don't jack with the MAF unless you plan to SD tune and remove it alltogether.

Mine is descreened too, but there was no difference. If you still have a completely stock MAF, a good rule of thumb is to not mess with it.
