First you should get rid of that MAF translator and then take off those MAF ends and put some stock ones back on it. I've never heard anything good about messing with the MAF. Also, it might be kind of hard to do in Sweden but you should get a dyno tune so they can get the a/f ratio where its supposed to be(12.8-13:1).

i need to get a scan tool.....if the car isn't running bad..I wouldn't worry about it, but if you cang et a dyno tune..i'd get it because your leaving some power on the table running so rich.
Do a search on maf ends and you will find that they are nothing but trouble. Id take them off. Id ditch the maf translater and wait for funds for more serious mods. Before you spend more money id study up for awhile here, then go for it.
