Default 99 1.8t sputtering, idle, problem MAF?

so I was installing a new gasket between the turbo and the downpipe because there was an exhaust leak there and when I go to take it around the block it starts up strange & hesitates the idle and idles weird like a missfire. So I pull out of my drive way and the car only hits about 2k rpm and all power cuts out than a second later it accelerates than cuts it keeps doing that the whole time even if I'm on the gas it just cuts out. not to mention the car reeks of fuel in the cabin & is throwing a cel code for maf sensor. note it past couple days it sometimes started strangly and slowly like it did today but it still drove fine. any ideas??
