    Try cleaning the MAF with electrical contact cleaner first

    My suggestions:

    First clean your MAF sensor with some CO or electrical contact cleaner.

    If it still persists check and tighten all boost hoses, and also check your vacuum return line into the TIP from the boost controller.

    Any decent electrical store or auto store should carry some.

    CRC make a Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner which is what I have, but its basically the same as any other aerosol electrical contact cleaner

    Sounds like what mine is doing and Its not the fuel pump. How many kilometres on your car, willing to bet its the spark plugs.
