MAF issues usually lead to underfuelling however I wouldn't rule it out. Faulty Lambda sensor is the more likely cause of over rich running, this will however only be an issue on cruise as the lambda signal is ignored on boost.

When you say it's overfuelling how does it manifest itself and what model / year is your scoob?
