Does the 737-800 have MCAS?
Older 737 models, like the 737-700, 737-800 and 737-900, don’t use MCAS and weren’t affected. Of the four 737 Max versions, only the Max 10 has yet to fly.

Are 737-800 and Max 8 the same?
The first variant developed in the 737 MAX series, the MAX 8 replaces the 737-800 with a longer fuselage than the MAX 7. Boeing plans to improve its range from 3,515 nmi (4,045 mi; 6,510 km) to 3,610 nmi (4,150 mi; 6,690 km) after 2021.
Is a Boeing 737-800 safe to fly?
Is it safe now? By endorsement of the FAA, Boeing and its pilots, the 737 MAX has been determined as safe to fly. But safe pilots fly planes safely and part of being a safe pilot is being well-trained and well-informed as to the full functionality of an aircraft’s systems.
How fast do planes go when landing?
At cruising altitude, most commercial airplanes fly at a speed of roughly 500 to 600 mph. When landing, however, they must reduce their speed. A typical 747, for instance, has a landing speed of about 160 to 170 mph.
How much runway does a 737-800 need to take off?

Is the 737-800 a next generation plane?
The 737-800 is a Next Generation 737, and has the updated wing that includes (among other enhancements) winglets, so this problem would be even more prevalent than on the classic 737’s.
Is the descent performance of the PMDG 737-800 accurate?
You haven’t provided everything possible to really ascertain the issue noted, but based on what you have I’ve noticed the following things:
What is the air inlet on a 737?
It’s the air inlet for the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). Slide 18 here has an image labelled “APU Air Inlet door with Vortex Generator”. The inset image on the slide looks almost exactly like your posted image. I found a much better image here, captioned “Boeing 737-800 with APU inlet”.
