I recently bought an my00 Gc8 wrx. The previous owner has managed to dismantle the housing for the air flow sensor removing all of the mesh and leaving it an empty pipe. I've spent the last week trying to hunt down a replacement for it but have only had luck in finding the MAF housing/pipe in a non turbo rs. My questions are could i use this part? Am i able to simply buy some sort of replacement mesh? Does anyone know where to find this part new?
thank you in advance. 

I purchased a my00 gc8 wrx a couple months back and the guy i bought it off said he altered the MAF. Ive been trying to find a diagram of the 00 MAF and housing but haven't been successful. From what i can see on the older models the MAF has a mesh grill between the sensor and the air box,  after taking mine apart, i can see it does not. I will happily spend the money in replacing the MAF and housing but im struggling to find a seller of the Housing. Pls Help.
