Very small dent on honey comb on maf...
This happened about a week back. I somehow managed to dent about 3-4mm of the honey comb maf. I wanted to know if this is something I should worry about or not. The metal is kinda twisted in a way that can not be straightned and it's very thin as you all know.
The car feels perfectly fine but I just thought I'd ask. Not going to effect performance of the car right?

MAFs are so sensitve that I would think about replacing it. Plus you wont have to worry about any pieces of the dented metal breaking off and going through you turbo/engine. I'm sure you can be just the honeycomb from the dealer.

So do they sell the honey comb itself at the dealership? Or do I have to purchase another maf from the dealer if it's bad? Also, how much am I looking at? I'm paraniod and don't want anything to go wrong.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just straighten it out with tweezers or a pin as best you can and call it a day.
Or you could always try to find someone with a wrecked car and get theirs if it bothers you...
