Swirl flaps or something else?

2008 GL320 approx. 155K miles

I've got symptoms that seem to fit a swirl flap issue (sudden loss of power, even with pedal to the floor that goes and comes) but the codes I'm getting don't seem to point right to that, any ideas or advice on how to eliminate possibilities? Here are the codes I'm getting from my iCarsoft MB2 scanner:

2359-1 Current Check system "charge Pressure Control" too low boost pressure.
2601-2 Historic Mass air flow sensor right the air mass is too small.
2355-2 Current Check system "Exhaust gas recirculation control" the air mass is too large.
3053-1 Current Check component B2/7b1(intake air temperature sensor) The signal voltage is too high

Cleared those codes and 2355-2 and 3053-1 came right back.

Additional information, about a year ago I replaced the turbo actuator and about two months ago I replaced the MAF sensors/intake air duct assembly because it had cracked at the turbo connection.

My wifes did something similar, I cleaned the EGR and replaced the DPF sensor. Now it doesn't go into limp mode or loss of power.

EGR wasn't too bad, but the sensor replacement fixed it. It's under the vehicle, took about 15 mins to change. Super easy.

Totally unrelated, but I LOVE your collection of 4000Q! Any pictures?

I was getting Deja Vu until I realized I responded to this over on BenzWorld. +1 on Sallad's DPF sensor suggestion. Cheap part and <15mnins to replace.

Now just one GL450 with EORP.
Very likely swirl flap. Leave it be and do the resistor mod. Lots of info on this board.
