Whichever one the main dealers sell, all others aren't worth buying.

Even euro car parts have multiple maf sensors, most of them with price variations too

I ran a Bosch refurb in mine all ok and much cheaper than genuine, just avoid the ebay crap.

Yeah, I bought a n75 valve from eBay, with the impression that it was new, turns out it was a really an old valve in a brand new box haha, never again.

The Bosch ones are genuine there exactly the same.... The one I got had the same markings as my original

I got my last few from GSF, after getting one from the dealers and it being faulty I had a massive argument with the dealers because they said in order to test the MAF you need to take your car to them for them to test if the MAF is faulty, what it DOESNT say is if you are running a modified engine in anyway it voids the warranty, as the warranty is the ONLY reason for buying one from the dealers, if your modified just get one from GSF or ECP simples
