Default Maf input low

Today I was going around a turn and when i went to throttle I heard almost like a POP. At first I was worried it was the turbo. The ABS light came on and the ESP light is on. No code came up from the car. I connected the vagcom and got a reading of MAF input low. Do you think I simply blew my MAF sensor and need a new one? Or do you think further problems?

How many miles on your car and how many miles on the mods?
Is it still you original MAF?
The ECU didn't throw any codes for the ESP or ABS? And did you lose traction, causing the ESP to come on??

How many miles on the car itself? Have you ever cleaned your MAF? I know they can be prone to getting dirty and/or going bad...

MAF cleaner... You need a security torx bit, not a regular torx!

Are you using K&N filters? They are tough on the MAF
