How is it mounted? Clip? Bolted on?

 

[DjAtB]

Basically what you need to do is just screw up 3 screws. Firstly the screw which attached to our air intake...then secondly you will get to see the sensor at the side...where you need to screw another 2 screws there...take it out and clean it with CRC contact cleaner...spray it till it shine and let it dry for approximately 5 minutes...then bolt it on back and your baby ready to boost..hehehe...The whole process should take you abt 10-15 minutes...

Grey: Sifu, am i right?..........

OK...3 screws...not 3 bolts...thanks...

 

[Greytezza]

Actually one bolt on the front scoop of the air intake and 2 philips head screws on the MAF sensor.

Got it...thanks, bro...Damn, I rounded the lower screw...had to remove the whole Airbox just to get to the lower screw...why do these people tighten these itsy bitsy screws so tight!!! Here are the pics...sorry for the quality...hope that it helps...Just wondering, the tip my sensor is orange in color, does it mean the sensor's dead? Refer to pic...

 

[Greytezza]

Orange is normal. As long as it is not cover in black oily dust. If you see a layer of oily dirt covering the sensor..spray the CRC on it and let it dry by itself. Important thing is not to rub the sensor with anything as this will damage it!! Repeat the cleaning with the CRC until you see the sensor is clean..then you can fix it back to your car.

Thanks, bro...now all I need is a new screw...mmmm

 

[Greytezza]

You can actually buy the screw from the shops along Jalan Loke Yew...after the Shell Station on the same row as Wing Hing. These are shops that sells bolts and nuts but you will have to bring along your old screw as a sample.
Good luck.
