not sure of part number but it is the dbilas flowmaster, it is a very well engineered peice of kit i must say

do you think IPA (iso-propyl alcohol) will work

ok, car is sorted to a degree...
i sprayed IPA onto the surface to the MAF sensor and left it for about 10-15 mins, fired the car up it was still erratic for about 5 seconds tehn sorted itself out, i left the car for another 15 mins as i was told the MAF needs to re-calibrate... so all was good so i took it for a drive but it was down on power? but the further into the journey i went the better it got so i am just wondering if the MAF is still calibrating or if there is some excess IPA on the MAF surface???

i am just letting it sit for an hour or so to see how it goes...

but so far 10 out of 10 for the MAF cleaning tip

thanks

Does the diblas just connect on to the OEM MAF or do you have to put the MAF in to the diblas?
