    Are aftermarket MAF's any good?

    They are about 1/3 the price of OEM... Made In Germany supposedly?! Would it be worth it? Accurate at all?

    I would not replace certain components with anything but OEM. One of them being the MAF. FWIW, I just bought a replacement and it is Bosch. Hitachi seems ok though.

    Thing is, it says that it is made in germany and gives a Bosch number... They don't stated that it is Bosch... If it is, I will go ahead and buy it!

    Some listings use the Bosch part number and part number for VW just for referance. For example, my Bosch part number is 0280218063, and the VW part number is 06A906461L(X for replacement).

    Edit: Too late, I got lucky with mine. Link.

    Unless it is OEM i would stay away, i tried 2 and had different results from both and it was during the swapping around that i dropped the clip into my SP1 turbo. I went OEM after that and all of the runnig probs and low readings went away.
