Yes I have the 3.0
And the "trans fail safe" light comes on when the maf is unplugged but it still runs fine and shifts through all the gears. But you can definitely feel that the car is restricted in some way, but still runs better than having the maf plugged in. Mind you, my wife is only using it to pick up and drop off the kids at school, so only a few km a day. Also did the same with my disa valve, its sealed up tight. I believe it is leaking through the vein, not the area where it connects to the intake.
