It isn't, Bosch is written on the side of the housing of the real ones.

Its not OEM or Bosch, I wouldn't recommend purchasing another knockoff. They'll last 6-8 months tops depending on how many miles you drive. Save yourself some money and time and go with Bosch. It looks like you have a film of oil on there, whats the deal with that? Are you using a K&N?

I use a K&N but I'm removing it, The oil gets the MAF dirty quicker.

sorry for the late reply, stopped observing the thread because i didn't get any replies. But better late than never right hehe.

But no, I'm not using a K&n.

I suspected that this maf i have now was a knockoff because bosch wasn't written anywhere on it and now I'm certain that it is a knockoff since you guys say so. But it made a HUGE difference. Before I replaced the maf the car performance was bad and the idle was very rough and sometimes when I fully stopped the rpm's would drop down to 500 and the car felt like it was going to die. So i decided to change the maf and I got a big change in performance and it stopped dropping down to 500 rpm's when I fully stopped but the idle is still a bit bad, well not perfect at least. And also when i give it full gas when I am at a full stop it doesn't go off the line right away, the rpm's drop a bit and then it starts going. So do you guys think that a genuine bosch maf could fix these problems.

thanks in advance :)
