MAF allegedly can be cleaned by spraying brake cleaner onto it but i've never need to do it so i can't say if it works.

if you have plastic inlet before turbo, you may check connection with turbo.

Idle speed control valve? I've changed a few in the past on my cars. i would take it and have a diagnostic check done first.
