I'm not sure if my 2002 is an early or late model, but I did drive it with the modified 2001 MAF before getting the update. I was hoping that I wouldn't need it. Turns it, it did need the update,...

If you read the TSBs, you'll see that the 00-01 received a similar "updated" MAF sensor (the 2Y001) which also requires an ECU flash. Since the 2Y001 and AM600 seem to be interchangeable after the...
