MAF it is, picking car up friday morning. The dealer claimed the MAF unit they originally tried was bad too. Not sure how thats possible but regardless, the test drove all afternoon and they are happy to report, issue hasnt reappeared at all she felt very fast.

Finally, the ordeal appears to be over. Now to enjoy my new car.

Great to hear Mike, I was told by Kevin that the MAF is basically a maintenance item and should be replaced periodically as it has a lot of control over the performance of the car. Hope to see you on the road soon, enjoy in the meantime.

Did you pick it up Mike? How is it?

I hope that the weather cooperates for you to get a ton of much deserved smiles in. You've been more patient than I could have been!

Sadly, we have snow and bad weather coming but I did get the car.

It is amazing, Im so happy right now. I just did that peek in the garage move where you check to make sure your not dreaming.

So fast and the 997 shifter is night and day. Spring is around the corner so Im ready for action.

I just had to chime in here. I've been working through the rough running, bog, felt like fuel cut off, 4000rpm and up fall on it's face, issue. Billet diverter's were one of my guesses, but they were new. Vivid tune was the last mod, the suggestion was a step colder plug. That seemed unlikely as my stock heat range plugs are only a year old.
Cleaned the MAF and got marginally better results. Read turbo4me's post about unplugging the MAF tonight. Went out and ran to a location with little traffic, unplugged, and runs better now that it has since I bought it. New MAF on order. Curious how much damage I could do running with it unplugged, but I'll wait for the MAF to show up.
Thanks for the unplug MAF tip!

i've always been told to run w maf unplugged only as long as you're attempting to eliminate or pinpoint the maf as the cause of "issues", but that it won't "harm" anything, just stay out of "boost" while its unplugged.

also, any "tuned" car will benefit from running a "6" plug instead of the stock "5". the recommendation they gave =is time honored as is changing the plugs more often as the mods step up. the 1.2 cars tend to burn up plugs faster than a stock car. i think that is safe to say.

stock gt2 plugs will serve you well. they are 6, not 5's.

good luck with it, a new maf will often be a new lease on life for the car. amazingly important little piece of work it is.
