my brother just got done cleaning his mas air flow sensor on his wrx. the cleaner claims up to 6 whp gain. what would happen if i spray some on my sensor? anyone ever even heard of this?

Never heard of it producing results like that. I doubt it does anything more than just clean the air sensor. It could actually damage the sensor, if the chemicals are even the slightest bit abrasive.

I wouldn't recommend doing it to any MAS.

its called MASS AIR SENSOR CLEANER. do u think it can be harmfull if thats what its for? but dont we have MAP sensors? kuzz on the can it says nuthing about MAP only MAS

I doubt you'll gain anything from using it, bud.

well if you had a MAF sensor it may do something. But all the MAP sensor is doing is reading a pressure, spraying some crap on it won't do anything, if anything you may damage the pressure sensor by soaking it.

Yeah... the D17A2 doesn't have a MAF sensor... it uses the MAP sensor... like Boilermaker said.

Is this a joke. Why would you gain 6hp from c;leaing your sensor. HAHHA

must be a joke, MAF sensor reads barametric pressures good luck gaining HP from cleaner a sensor, lol......just to add i have used the MAF cleaner on GM products which actually works......K&N filters ruin MAF sensors .....Food for Thought

thats why he got the cleaner. K&N ona subaru wagon. his mass air flow was hella messed up. cleaning the sensor gave him back the power that the k&n lost.

is he serious....the only thing coming out of a can that makes hp is nos...everything else is just bs.

Well, eh, not really.

If for some reason a MAF is clogged with crap, cleaning it will make a difference, albeit a small one.

our shop delivery van is 10 years old, and a good shot of MAF sensor cleaner freed up 12 WHP. and yes, we dynoed it. smokin151 meant MAP on the first part, because MAF's dont read baro pressure. harsh chemicals can ruin the pressure wafer in MAP's stay away from it.
