first of all put back your stock mas until you fix the problem. adding aftermarket parts rarely fixes problems and usually makes it harder. the hesitating sounds like a boost leak.

what mods do you have?

do you mean the air conditioning condenser? that wont affect anything as long as your ac belt is off.

well i think the problem are the pipes and the breather because i had the 2900 clutch before and it was working wood. to be honest i did something call !@#$%^ what i did is that i cleaned the air filter and i didnt wait for it to get dry so i think some how the maf sensor got some water and that is the reason y its not working good anymore. the problem here is that i already bought 2 maf sensors trying to fix the car but the problem persists. what should i do?
