Subaru Impreza & Legacy Purple Lable Air Flow Meter Genuine

... You may wanna take a chance on a 2nd hand one off eBay.

That said, the purple ones aren't too prevalent

Sounds like you're overboosting (for whatever reason) and breaching the MAP sensors max boost limit, therefore hitting boost-cut.

Not necessarily a MAF problem, IMO.

Hello

Sorry for dragging this up again. But did you ever solve the problem? I am having the exact same problems (surging and fuel cut). Been quoted £365 for a new MAF but not sure if this is the solution.

I've cleaned the MAF (purple one as well) and the boost solenoid but it has made **** all difference.

Any idea why I would be overboosting? It happens on hot days as well as cold.


Thanks

Mark

£340 - similar to main dealer price IIRC. But it is new.
