See this.What is the best way to remove the MAF from a Gen2 Cayman ('09)? I had it disconnected but couldn't get it out of the engine compartment due to clearance to various surrounding components.
Any suggestions what method is best?
That's odd. It was about a year ago when I cleaned mine and the details are kinda fuzzy, but I think I actually lowered mine down next to the transmission and took it out from underneath. I know that I had to remove it when I installed shifter cables several years ago, so I knew there was some room in the vicinity of the left side shifter cable. My biggest issue in removal was in disconnecting the harness. I couldn't see how it was clipped and was afraid to force it (and pull a wire loose).I did the same thing; fully disconnected the MAF but couldn't get it out the the compartment. I wanted to clean on the bench or replace as I am getting some readings which seem just a bit off.
Is it easy to loosen motor mount to get .5" lower? That would be enough.....
It never occurred to me to lower it and remove from under the car. If I need to clean it again, I'll give that a try.That's odd.

Is that a 987.2 drawing? Does not look like my 2011, which has the MAF inside the air box.
Yes, 987.2. That's the housing with the actual sensor inside. 98760616501 It is all one part. By "air box", do you mean part #16 in the diagram? It is labeled air box but I'd call it a hose. You can see the actual sensor circuitry from the there. I've told you can spray it with MAF cleaner from there. But it would get all over some other parts.Is that a 987.2 drawing?

Yea, you are right - mine is definitely modified. Instead of the intake air hosing going to the TB, it goes straight down to the turbo. All of the components from the nox to the TB have been eliminated. Indeed, a large part of the box has been cut off and the MAF housing mounted into it.There is a hole cut in the lid for the MAF to stick out. Thanks.Yes, 987.2.

Edit: I just saw you have TPC turbo. maybe that is a different intake setup.
