I ran my MAF for a while with no screen and no adverse affects. There are a couple threads in the Ecuflash area about it.

you should be fine. I've been running with no MAF screen since 06 with no issues. Same thing happened to me except it was a gt35r @ 22psi. You might find that the A/F @ idle will move a little more, but once the fuel trims relearn it will go back to normal.

All cars are different but my tune did not change at all. Not even any lower load.

It screws up your MAF reading without it. Idle will be poor. I would suggest finding a replacement and epoxying it in there.
