Confussed. 

I unplugged the MAF started her up drove down the road and the car is like a rocket, MPG good to, no cutting out.

I thought the MAF unplugged would cause car to run with no power?

Does this mean you have something better to be doing

With the MAF unplugged the ECU goes into 'limp home mode' & uses a default map. It should run even better with a good MAF

To be absolutely certain that the MAF is guilty you need to get the live readings read by someone with Tech2 or a good code reader.

Did you fit a genuine MAF last time?

All sorted now thanks, with the MAF unplugged it did not revert to limp home mode, I have had that a few times it's like pulling off with one cylinder firing.
The car is spot on with it unplugged so when my GM MAF arrives I will look forward to what people are saying will be an improvement 
But to be fair it runs as good unplugged as when I first had it can't fault the performance as I beat a golf off the line today
