See earlier in the thread. They used to be priced lower it looks like and had a make an offer button. I think i offered $150 and they countered at $160usd each is what i paid. They were shipped directly to my shop. My mechanic said they looked oem, came in bosch box, but i did not ask about any seals or serial number matching.
Just for reference this part number isn't correct for the AFM used on the CS. Its actually the same pn as a F430 and 599 which is Bosch Pn#: 0280218085;
Thanks for the heads up guys! Ordered two and they've already shipped for less than 1 through Ricambi. Maybe we should stock up? LOL

I swapped my CS maf insert and modena maf insert and both cars runs fine. First pic "044" is from CS 2nd pic "030" are 2 inserts. One insert from Modena#1 and the other insert from Modena #2. Not sure what's the difference but roughly they look the same. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The 430/360CS unit would be great for a low boost turbo application without throwing a code as it allows for more air flow
Because one of the Modena's MAF went bad(engine throw a code), so I swap over another one to confirm. I wonder if the CS insert & modena insert are 100% interchangeable without performance change. I personally can't feel anything after the swap
I'd love to get other people's opinions on this... I was actually thinking it would do the opposite, i.e. result in a rich mixture thus the o2 sensors having to kick in to tell the ecu to lean out the mixture further. Since the CS/F430/599 AFM has a slightly wider diameter vs the 360 AFM, so putting the CS sensor in the smaller diameter housing of the 360 AFM (if thats what's been done) would trick the sensor into putting out a signal that would indicate to the Bosch ECU that more air was passing through the AFM than really is the case, i.e. richer mixture !? If I thinking about this correctly and he'd done it the other way around, i.e, fitted the 360 sensor in a CS/F430/599 AFM housing it would result in more air passing by the sensor for the given outputted signal thus leaning out the mixture way more than it should be and potentially leading to melted pistons if too much air got in for the given amount of mixture! People be careful doing these kinds of experiments unless you have a wideband lamba sensor and a dyno to test it out on (or a spare engine).
Use the 430 AFM body or it will have issues, the larger size allows more air to pass without throwing a code. Been boosting for a long time, wideband 02 sniffer and two piggy-back fuel controllers (Power Commanders PC3's) controlled from a 2BAR MAP, 10PSI = 100% TPS and map from that scale add or remove fuel were needed for easy and effective mappable boost control. You can also do this with a N/A motor to map fuel via the TPS without access to the ECU's I've done this many times when I could not map the ECU directly, it works and it's very simple. Pictures show one for each bank, they fit between the injectors and the loom, the grey wire is a 5 Volt signal wire can go to TPS switch or MAP for boost. Use a LM2 for AFR and you can map the piggy-back fuel controllers were needed. Plus you don't need a dyno the road is your dyno with a data logger.
