Only very small issue was connecting the electrical plug to the sensor was a tight fit, but thats it. Car has been running fine now for a couple of hundred miles. I just checked and there are a bunch of similar MAFs on ebay.
You also risk burning a valve from running lean along with cat converter failures. Which only show up after prolonged running.
