i have a 00 wrx with an apexi pod filter and even though it is not oiled i still went through a few afm's. i was told it was due to the extra air flow or turbulance effecting the reading. Also make sure it is clean all the time as this can quickly damage it.

yeah i got one its all good, cost me 100 bucks fitted (bolt on)
