Installed CAI, now I can't keep her running!
A friend and I installed the Place Racing-style CAI that runs through into my wheel well.
Since doing so, I've been having some problems... when I start the car with the MAF connected, it stalls out right after I start it. If I unplug the MAF, I can get it going (but it stalls randomly) and the car starts "shuddering" every time I hit 2250 RPM.
I already tried swapping out the MAF sensor, checked all the hoses for leaks (or so I think), and now I'm stumped. Anybody have a problem like this before? Any info is much appreciated!

Yeah, I can. I had it running at about 40mph on cruise control and it didn't stall until I stopped. It seems to run fine if you keep it at about 2000 RPM. Every time I put it into reverse it would stall as well, unless I gave it some gas right away.

Sure sounds like a MAF problem. As someone said are you sure you put it the right way? The arrow should be pointing towards the engine. Other then that did you happen to drop your MAF at all? They are pretty sensitive. Did you hook up the IACV and valve cover breather line?

There's a flange on the CAI that can only connect to the MAF in 1 way.. so it's installed correctly. I'm going to try checking for leaks and swapping out the MAF wiring harness with another.. any other suggestions while I'm in there?
Thanks for all the replies BTW

Also, for us to really help, we need a picture of the engine bay, most namely in the TB/MAF/PCV breather area.

That/s actually not entirely true, it’s more a matter of unmetered air (blind air) getting into the engine, and the MAF doesn’t see it so it does not get compensated for.
