While installing my evoms I intake I got my maf dusty. Tried spraying it with compressed air but it didn't work.
Oh and the installation was the biggest pita getting the dam maf into the adapter. I was about to just put my stock back in but I just started smashing it and it finally went in. lol

CRC Maf Cleaner. Large parts stores often carry it. Spray the hell out of it, let it completely dry, reinstall. Done.
Just be careful to only handle the plastic area. Touching the sensor can cause some damage.

Actually it's not so easy. Where would I get this stuff (Canada)? Anything else I can use?

I found it at my local auto parts store. Worst case scenario, you can probably get it straight from CRC. It's around $5.
I don't know what you have in Canada, but here you can get it at Autozone, Pep Boys, Napa, etc.
Others have used CRC electrical parts cleaner. If you can get either, obviously go with the MAF cleaner. Here's the MAF Cleaner (http://http://www.crcindustries.com/auto/content/prod_detail.aspx?PN=05110&S=N). There is probably a list of retailers on the site. Damn, I'm helpful today. lol.
