@alexw - You could try cleaning the MAF, but more than likely that isn't at issue. I'd check all connections between the MAF and intake manifold to ensure they are air tight. If the system is claiming a leak, there probably is one.
Also, the MAF is not going to be anywhere near "old gaskets" in your engine. It will be upstream of these items. It should be getting fairly much clean air directly from the air filter.
Getting chilly here. Time to put the winters on. Hooray and sigh. My summers have become exciting as they’re about worn down to slicks. Great when it’s hot.... ;-)
Not quite lethal. Exciting but not in a fun way. The fronts are a bit more worn so they go away on wet turns. It serves as a reminder not to be a donkey when it’s cold and rainy on slick tires.
The winters in the snow are exciting in the BEST way!
Sometimes I make myself laugh. It’s like a joke bomb for future Bob:

What does the term A/R ratio mean?
In almost all automotive applications that you are likely to see, turbos are a radial flow, snail shaped turbine section attached to a similar compressor section. As we see in this illustration from the Turbocharger Fundamentals article:

@BobCross - Yes, I knew it was my question ... I've not asked so many of them I've forgotten any of them ... forgotten which questions I've answered, though ... dang getting old sucks ;-)
it seems like the removal procedure for the intake manifold, according to the Haynes manual, is pretty involved. Do you think it's worth it? I also noticed that one of the clips on the engine air filter housing had come unclipped...that shouldn't be vacuum sealed anyway though, right?
yeah so it shouldn't be raising any codes about the cylinders, like the ones I'm getting...
I did notice a small mouse nest under my engine cover >:( I can't imagine a mouse would have wanted to chew into any of the hoses in the fuel delivery system though, right? Those are all thick rubber
All you're doing with soapy water is spraying it on the engine as it's running. Any change in how it runs while you are spraying points to an area where your vacuum leak is occuring.
@alexw - I think 25% is pretty much top-o-the-line.
