Nadlad, you only need the security torx bit if your only taking the maf sensor itself off but the pic your showing on ebay it comes already in the plastic hose thing so its just a matter of unscrewing a jublee clip, two screws on the airbox and replace the whole thing, no need for special torx bits.

the maf is two parts the sensor itself and the plastic housing. The housing is the plastic cylinder that is between the hose leading to the air box and throttle body. The sensor itself can be withdrawn from the housing by unpluging the connector and undoing the two security torx screws.

Hey mate, before ya start messin about wit it too much, check the easy s^#t first, i lost all boost bar 3psi. i checked all my boost hoses and found the one from the intake and BOV was cracked. replaced and am runnin 18PSI again no issues, its best to check easy stuff before messin about.
