Default braken mass air flow sensor?

...either higher-than-normal stress or an internal flaw.

its an 02 with A&A single intercooler set up. I think what happend was the silicone tubing was to long and puting strain on it, and with the torque of the motor it snaped. I used some jb weld and it seems to be fixed for now. Are the high performance mass flow air sensors for 350.00 worth it?
