Sounds like a nice little list well done to me,
Didn't realise you could clean MAF's what did you use :)

carb/injection component spray cleaner. just a good healthy squirt & leave the car to 'dry' for a bit. It'll still splutter a bit on start up. bit of brown/grey/dirty residue came off.
my cars had a little flat spot at very low revs lately, felt like fuel problem. Hence the new bits. Drove home very nicely but didn't give it the beans as its got new pads and they're in the early hours of bedding in.

Ah I know the stuff...

Didn't give it beans because you didn't come across any Boxsters you mean ;)
Be interesting to hear if it has cured your problem. I did read somewhere that maf sensors can be rejuvenated by freezing them, at least that's what I have read the VW boys do when they have one fail. Apparently they're as right as rain afterwards...

Never heard of that little trick mate. Can't really see how/why that would work.
