Mk5 gti dies if maf sensor if connected

Hi i got a mk5 gti 2007, bwa on 160k miles just install some high flow intercooler pipes for my car. Came to start it up and it would die instantly. I rechecked all the clamps and they were all tight. Reading up on it i was told the maf sensor could be bad. So i borrowed another one from a diffrent gti and same problem.

I got the codes checked and showing codes for maf (as i had it unplugged) and a p2261 for diverter valve. I replaced the diverter valve with a revision g and same problem.

Anyone have any ideas off what it could be?
