I am going to give you some advice.
Option 1. Sell the turbo stuff. Sell all your accessories. Buy a used engine and put it in. Sell the car and buy a different one. It will never be the same and you will not come out on top.
Option 2. If you're lucky, they probably flashed a stock ROM map onto your car or something. Re-flash with your last map your tuner gave you (or get someone to make a map for you to flash on there)

Or why not just set it on fire and watch it burn?
OP, take care of the DTCs first.
Notice I don't say "replace the MAF". Take care of the DTC, diagnose the damn thing. If this it was going to throw a rod bearing from sealant abuse on the timing cover, it would have thrown a rod bearing, not a MAF fault code.
But please understand that mechanics do not want to work on modified shitpiles. Having a MAF blobbed into a single solid piece with epoxy is classified as a shit mod done in a shit way and makes the car a shitpile for any professional that would work on it. I hope you knew this before you bought someone else's shitpile, you will have to involve yourself with this car and do a lot of the work yourself. Starting at a pick-your-own-parts recycler would be a good idea, grab a MAF and a good length of the associated wiring harness, whatever happens you will need to have access to the circuit terminals for diagnostic, and disconnecting the connector is step one, so make it disconnectable.
