This could be one of many things, CATS blocked, would give you a hissing noise! air mass sensor, could even be a gearbox fault! fault codes are only the real way to go, anything other would be guessing!
You need to have a look at the Turbo inlet to see if its wet with oil, if it is then the MAF will be contaminated with oil vapour, this will change the reading from the MAF as it wont sense the air quantity and temp.
There is also another sensor on a rubber tube, the connector fills with oil too.
You could try cleaning it with a spray cleaner, I have used easy start as it was all I had at hand at the time.
MB retail the sensor for about £60 roughly and if you look in your senvice book it is listed as a service item like the filters.
