How far is the MAFS from the turbo inlet? Any weird bends post MAFS shouldn't really cause any problems, but if you've got a bend right in front of the MAFS, that can cause issues.
It honestly kinda sounds like a very minor vac leak. Double check for leaks.
Pull the codes from the ECU and see if you get anything.
If you've got butterflies hooked up as stock, but the solenoid isn't wired up, they're open all the time and not doing anything. The wiring for the solenoid goes into the chassis harness for some reason. Never understood why Nissan did that. There is a writeup about the butterflies in the FAQ that will tell you what pin to wire the solenoid up to on the ECU plug. Remember that the ECU switch's the ground on and off, so the solenoid will have 12V+ supplied to it with the ignition on to one wire, and then the other wire will go to the ECU and the ECU will handle grounding the solenoid when it chooses.
Also, are you in the US? If not, are you sure you've got a JDM ECU? The EDM ECU's don't have any provisions for the butterfly valves.
Last is that it could be ignition related, but it doesn't really sound like it to me, so lets check the other stuff first.
