I need some help. I need to get a new MAF for my 1995 gst and I am having a hard time finding where to get a MAF and I would like to get some feedback on them as well. I would like to get one that would add a little more hp but this is an area that I am not experienced in. Any input? I tried searches and I only got one hit that did not pan out.
 
I just recently purchased one from orielys, ran me 250 bucks but it has a lifetime warranty. Theres not really a maf that will add hp and you are no where needing a higher flowing maf which would be the gm 3 inc maf.
 
For a mildly modified vehicle, I would recommend sticking with a factory replacement MAF. The stock 2G MAF actually flows pretty well and will not become a significant airflow restriction until you are flowing some serious air. If you have upgraded to a large turbo along with all the necessary supporting mods (upgraded injectors, fuel pump, fuel controller, etc.), then it may make sense to consider an upgraded airflow sensor (such as a blow-thru setup). Also, you will most likely not be able simply "drop-in" a non-factory replacement airflow sensor - you would need to purchase additional tuning tools to compensate for the non-factory sensor. Hope this helps you in your decision.:thumb:
 
Junk Yard MAF $15-$30

But thats not the expencive or important part the MAF-Translator is the key part of using the MAF on your car. Like Castertroy_gst said im might be more cost effective to just stay with a stock 2G Maf in there and unless you really want to vent you BOV its not really that nessory. If you plan on getting crazy with the car later its not really a nessary upgrade.

If you want them new check out.
Extreme PSI - MAF for $125 and the Maf-T for $195
SlowboyRacing - MAF for $199 and the MAF-T for $195. They have a Complete Kit for $409 with the clamps and coupler that you would need.
They also have a Full blow through kit with the Upper intercooler pipe and the Maf & Maf-T for $539 (its the Dejon Tool one)
 
Thanks for the information guys. I will stick with a stock replacement for my car since I do not have a lot of mods done. Also I have a K&N intake on my car and I was wondering if I put too much of the oil on the filter would that raise the odds of my MAF going bad or having some sort of build up on the sensor. I know that some, if not all, MAFs have a a self cleaning system, of sorts, and I did not know if this could affect this system.
 
IF you let it dry first (soke in) before putting in on the car and running it you shouldnt have a problem.

Thats just my thought on it. What I said is not a fact just what I think.
