Is it standard or modified? Had a look about and it suggests it's running lean. Could be a leak on the intake side?

I'm getting the same problem, at first it was boosting to 3/4 up the gauge. Now its struggling to get past a 1/4. I'm gonna change the solenoid but before I do should I try cleaning the maf sensor if so how do you clean them. Sorry a bit of a noob at the moment.
