MAF Brand Recommendation?

Just wondered if anyone has bought an off-brand MAF that has worked out well for them. I'm on a bit of a limited budget these days (daughter getting ready to start college, orthodontics for son, etc.) and any money I can save is good thing.

Thanks for any and all the help you provide or have provided. This site is a wealth of great information from a lot of good people.

Yes, same question. Can those $29 ones on ebay, actually function properly?

They're junk, don't work properly. The MAF is something you really need OEM.

I am almost willing to buy $29 MAF and swap it in for my good one just to see if they work. Not going to run the car at the track with it but just around the neighborhood.

$114 for a Bosch replacement.
Free Shipping
5 stars on the reviews.
Same Bosch Part number as stock.
Not $29, but at least it works.
