Please say 'hi' to him for me, next time you talk.

P.S. The current post-turbo MAF configuration could be the very reason that MAF got ruined (if that's the problem)... excess heat or oil from the turbos could easily mess up the sensor. Please keep that in mind before you swap yours into a questionable configuration...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
