Yeah will run a check again. Just for clarification, when testing w/multimeter on what setting should I put the selector on?
The wiring leading up to the maf checks clean...
Have 2 more things I'm going to try, check some more wiring, and replace maf which is on the way.
The Maf is powered from the Main realy right?
The main realy is powered from the ignition circuit?
And lastly what are the power sources for the 2 wires to the cigarette lighter?
The yellow wire and the Red/black wire?
I have reason to believe, from research, that a short in my boost gauge wiring may be the culprit.
And Jeff your current avatar tops all so far...

yes DCV - 12 or more
connect your black earth lead to the battery negative terminal and then use your red to test the pins on the plug . If you grind the end of your probe to a sharp point you can test the wire with it plugged into the maf by piercing the plastic around the wire .
PS - don't push the probe through your finger

Cool thanks for clearing that up for me.
I was wondering so how is the ecu getting load now?
I'm getting correct maf g/s readings but as stated voltage is pegged
I just couldn't resist tonight and said F%^k it. I hit 6.5 psi. Car stumbled a bit @ around 4 k rpm,(from to much fuel), but pulled through and hit hard(and I mean w/neck snapping a vengeance) boost and gear transition was as smooth as butter. Then stumbled and bogged down again from overly rich conditions.

Here is how my MAF harness side checked out
11.54v Black/Blue
.03v Black/White
.03v Yellow/red
5.02v Black/Red
.03v Green/Black
Don't know how to post the actual screenshot from excel but here goes; First one is on freeway and the second is WOT
Okay edit just made them into zip files and attached

Well I've narrowed it down to either a malfunctioing MAF sensor or corrupted ECU.
I've done pretty damn near everything
Thought it may have been the ap so uninstalled and removed all software and maps from computer, car, and the AP itself. Reinstalled & updated everything, went to start car and still through the damn cel and Maf pegged.
Will find out the verdict thursday when new Maf arrives

I dunno it's beyond me I haven't tried the multimeter reading while car was idling to confirm the AP readings but will give that a try tomorrow.
But I don't think it's the AP showin showing bad readings because my car still throws a CEL as well as my Traction control light
BTW why is my traction control light on as well?

The TC light goes on when the MAF fails completely or if the TB or MAF are unplugged.
I just went outside, took an alligator clip and shorted across my MAF to simulate what you are getting.
The car wouldn't start cold.
So, I undid that, started it, got it warm and then tried it again.
It was very, very stubborn, but it started eventually.
It is completely undrivable. It won't accelerate at all and the MAF reads 370 g/sec fixed.
So, you have something else going on there.
