Ok,so back box is held on by rubber hanger underneath and attaches to main pipe which may need new clamp fitting.I've found on my other cars that a small piece of shim metal is wrapped around the main pipe to make the fitting a bit tighter.I have a K & N induction kit on mine and the inlet air temperature sensor plugs into the back shoulder of the filter.That may be faulty so check wiring.

The car will still run with the MAF unplugged,sometimes better than with it plugged in.There should be another plug with a small lead that plugs into the shoulder of the filter. http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r488/bazzagolfgti/IMG_10771.jpg
If you look at the filter on the right you have the bracket then under that you have a plug,that is the air intake temperature sensor.It just pulls out.That may be faulty.

So don't you have the K & N induction kit on anymore ?.If you can try and post up a pic of your air filter and intake pipe,would help.If the hinge has broken off the backbox,may need a new backbox m8. :sad:
