I realised a long time ago that when I am under relentless pressure I can be extremely stupid. Given I have a T5 and and R running the identical block why not swap out one of the known working MAFs ?
Stupid Boy !
Hoping to do today and will post progress

true, all volvo mafs are the same (same part nr as well) until up to 2001, and after 2001 the mafs are doing the exact same job (same resistance, but done with a different material, ecus know their "good" values, the maf only gives a resistance value to the ecu), just more reliable (my 2000 t5 had old maf messing around when i bought it, and the new 2001+maf was a direct replacement... also 70-80quid for unopened ones on ebay, dont stress yourself buying 300quid maf (that is the old one anyways) from ECP)
so no gasket, but if the car ran good/lean with maf plugged in, i would check on the fuel lines, or at least change the fuel filter?
edit: as i assume, that your maf was shot from the start...
