Default not building boost

I put my turbo kit on over the weekend and I went to get my car tuned today, Car would not build boost, at around .6psi it would break up and it was running really really rich. Ended up finding out my Mass air flow sensor was bad, would that be the reason why it wouldnt build boost? I'm going back tomorrow with the new MAF and just trying to see if ill be in for any other suprises tomorrow besides that.

Yeah the maf will make you not make boost if it's causing it todumping fuel in it. It will choke the motor causing he rpms not to get high enough to spool he turbo up. Just check and recheck your vacume/ boost lines to make sure there setup right on the wastegate.
