Motor stalls...???

[I ask good questions]

I took my exhaust mani and turbo off this past weekend to fix an exhaust leak. I put everythign back together and there are no leaks in the intercooler or exhaust. Now my car wont idle or hold constant throttle. I unplug the maf and it idles fine plug it back in and it stalls. I however dont think its the maf. I cleaned my o2 sensor with carb cleaner... which i think was a bad idea. The car runs great in boost just wont idle.

my brother had the same problem but he had bits of an old gasket on there so we took off the bits off both ends and got a new one dont know if thatll help

Sounds like a bad maf to me if it idles nice with it unplugged and bad if plugged in.

yeah it might be a bad maf but even so it would run in limp mode either way.
