The MAF sensor is on the intake pipe coming from the airbox.

the maf element itself needs to come out it is held in the housing by two security type scews, you can sometimes get them out other ways but they are a five sided type torx bit with a hole in the middle. when you have the maf out you should see a silver plate this gets black and needs cleaning i did mine the other day and used a q tip.
