The point I was trying to make was I thought everything was spot on & it wasn't. I'll make a point of cleaning the sensor everytime I clean the filter.
Maybe it's not power im being robbed of but throttle responce, before the pedal felt disconnected & I put that down to drive by wire. Now the car instantly responds. Although I don't have to rev so high to make progress this would be related to power though.
make sure you dont have any oil behind the maf area, improper oil filling can lead to oil in the throttle body. which could also have lead to your problem...

and electicial contact cleaner is a better choice...
