I am gonna take this opportunity to share with you that to my absolute amazement and surprise, I am still running on the same MAF as the one I bought it with.

Would have expected it to have gone long ago, but been lucky so far.

Will probably go soon, now that I have played with the devil :lol:

i got a powertec one from AMD and its very MAF friednly been on th car ages no nasty problems.
although that intake pipe is a total ******* to fit took me hour to get it in there then find out my filter dont fit in my anger i just ripped it straight back out how much do you seriously need to cut the pipe down by?

Powertec MAF friendly i think not. Mess type filters are very poor for filtration so your MAF will be covered in ****, its only a matter of time before it goes fully.

Cotton Gauze filters are the best ones to have lads, cant believe how much you gamble with cheap ass filters. You buy a cupra cos you want a quality car so why would you scrimp on filter???

I know what your saying (as i spent £200 on a pipercross viper which was s*** -ate mafs every other month sometimes within weeks) but its like buying a pair of jeans-go matalan and but a decentish pair for £20 or go Republic and buy G-star for £90-both do same thing both good material but ones got the name G-star that makes it more expensive-half the time i think your just paying for the brand.....

My Opinion this is.... :)

Apexi have been known to make cars that run MAF sensors run poor so would stay away from them myself. Just make sure its a good quality Cotton Gauze type filter when choosing a new one. Id highly recommend the Jetex filters as they are made by JR which are the filters Jabba Sport use so you know they are very good
