Another Viggen MAF success story!

I have a 00 5dr Viggen 87K on the clock. The original MAF was changed out at 53K. My car also had a K&N drop in air filter. After reading posts on this board about failed MAF's as possible causes for piston failures and some sugestion that oil from the K&N filter's might cause a MAF to go bad sooner I became concerned. Recently I noticed I was not getting as much boost (2/3 to 3/4 into the yellow) and hesitation as well. I suspected the MAF but I was also taking my car in for the DIC recall. I did that first with new plugs and changed back to a paper filter (MANN). Noticed a difference with a paper filter, quieter which liked, however, still I was not getting full boost. I ordered a MAF from Europarts, put it in this morning and WOW! instant boost, now the needle goes right to edge of red with a very smooth spool up, night and day difference!!
