Parts of the statement you quoted are factually inaccurate. The DME uses twin wideband o2 sensors for AFR targeting. The MAF readings are only used at idle/under vacuum where the resolution on the 2.5bar MAP sensor leaves a bit to be desired for idle quality. So altering the MAF readings can have no impact on any tuning or operation while under boost when the tuners are active.

It's true that exceeding MAF limits can trigger hidden plausibility codes though. Which is why altering them physically or via the CANbus is required for higher boost tunes to avoid these hidden codes.
