1998 V70xc. Motor feels like somebody is choking her!!

Let me see if I can explain briefly what's happening. I got a code for faulty TBV so I pull MAF plug after trying other stuff, she runs better so I'm like MAF. I replace MAF only to have issue with TBV again, so I replace that still runs like a vacuum hose is off or PCV hose is off so I pull MAF plug and she at least stays running. I can't find anything wrong and no codes since replacing MAF/TBV. I'm thinking it's a vacuum hose or vacuum related but can't find anything. ??? Anybody have a clue??

Have you check all the intercooler hoses to make sure none of them is torn?

Yes I've checked them but I haven't removed since doing the rear cam seal that's behind the ignition rotor a month ago.
I have a question for you, is my description of feeling a like a vacuum hose is totally disconnected what happened to you when your intercooler hose got that slice in the side of it?
