I just got my mf103 for my GS. It took about 30 min to install without problems. It looks great and I've noted an increased throttle response. The only issue is that the lower screw housing for the MAF sensor seems to be stripping out. I got the top really tight but the bottom is in just sufficient enough to not cause an air leak. Anybody have this problem and a fix? Thanks

Slightly larger screw? Coil insert? Machine screw of the right size? ? Good luck.

they don't need to be "really tight", snug is better.....just take a dab of silicone on the end of the screw and put it back in, do not over tighten

Yes I sure did. It seems like it will be OK but I just wated to make sure. The video clip of the MAF install looks like the screws go in pretty tight.
