I'm looking to pay around 650 for it. My MAF is dead and I've heard that the VPC used is about the same.
Hmmm...I wrote an entire post but I deleted it before I hit "submit reply" because it souded like a flame...anyway, here's some solid advice is as constructive a manner as I can do.

First, you have an AFM, not a MAF, but that's not a big deal. The big deal is that a VPC is an intense waste of money for what you get. For $650, you elminate your AFM abd pick up about 25 rwhp, but you still need an S-AFC if you ever plan on getting bigger injectors. So for nearly $1000, you have a kinda half-assed engine management system still using the out-dated stock ECU. You can get the plug-and play system from the Orlando guys for around that and have the ability to tune on a laptop which is both super cool, and a far better way to tune your engine and get rid of the AFM at the same time. I lost the link, but I know the guy making them so hit me with an email and I'll find the link and send it back to you.
