Picture 2 is your MAF
And the reason it has failed is because of your air cone, refit your standard air box and you shouldnt have any further problems.

Picture 1 is the housing which has the actual MAF sensor in it (small wire hanging down).
Did picture 2 come out of the housing?

I've run an IK on my car for 3 years and no MAF problem but the IK could have brought any problem to your attention a lot quicker.

On the later cars the sensor gets replaced not the housing iirc, so on your car you have picture 1 which if you look down it will see a wire hanging down.
