He means MAF sensor. If it ran better unplugged, that woudl prove the sensor is failing/dead
Hitachi MAF sensors are known to read unusually high when dying/dead, but before doing that I'd check for boost leaks. That would explain the charge pressure and MAF too high codes.

hehe. well i got the MAF part, but i figured it'd go into limp mode if it can't detect air flow
i'm not too familiar with motronic management, but usualy the initial fuel mixture amount is guessed based on MAF, then corrected via O2. if it has no MAF data, wouldn't it run rather crappy?
