Will do O2 sensor next if this doesn't help.
I also I didnt buy this to drive slow so fuel economy is going to be **** but I noticed that crap driving sensibly to and from work the past week. If I was foot flat for those km's I wouldn't be complaining.
Car definitely drives alot smoother now. Sometimes would have a little stumble when taking off in first gear but that's gone. Only heard one pop all day too so major improvement there. I have also noticed I can now cruise along in 5th gear at 50-60kmh where as before I was always chopping between 3rd and 4th as in 4th if I went below 50kmph I would have to shift down to 3rd.
Overall major win. expect fuel milage to be alot better and only cost $12 for a can of MAF cleaning.

My IX gets horrible gas mileage. Because of the spool characteristic of the 71HTA I feel like i'm literally always in boost, like i barely have to give it any throttle and im in boost. I'm lucky to get 160 miles on a tank of E85. At a NASA event 1/3 tank lasts me one 20 minute session, usually equated to about 3mpg. My Evo X is better but still pretty bad when you factor in that fact that it still has stock injectors. I'm lucky to get 240 miles out of a tank. I think I managed 250 once. I've contemplated switching to E85 but there's really no point unless the price of gas shoots through the roof.

Even during mixed driving, I see 17-19.
