The thread starter's screen name is "fokwolfe95", so without any other info, I think everyone assumed 4th-gen.

Still in the vein of this thread.... I'd like to hear some opinions on just what sort of a horsepower level you'd be at when the stock, untouched MAF becomes a restriction. (4th gen) Or, maybe, what power levels have people reached with the stock MAF in place?

I agree that modifying the MAF or replacing with an aftermarket piece is not a great idea for 4th gens. But there must be a point where the stock MAF just won't flow enough. Is that when people start using other computer systems?

I've also heard that the oil from aftermarket air filters hurts the sensing unit...

I've got mine de-screened. Been that way for almost 5 years now. Didn't notice any gain or ill effects for that matter.

And yes if you're overzealous with the oik it will get in the sensing unit. What I do is have a can of computer parts cleaner. Make sure it says LEAVES NO RESIDUE on the can. And with a Q-tip LIGHTLY clean the oil off the sensors. I can't stress the lightly part enough. Don't ask me how I know..
