Personally if run it with it plugged in. Better to be getting a false signal than none IMO.

my car broke down today woudlnt start for long kept cutting out. called aa and he unpluged the sensor and it ran again! the turbos not kicking in now just feels like a normal 1.8 cant see how any damage can be done as the fueling etc has been adjusted by the ecu

I wouldn't run it for long without the MAF plugged in.
