UPDATE
All cylinders were 150 when I did on dry and cold, did not do wet, air intake had some water in it about 200ml and drained it out, started the car hoping for best but no much change, it is working and not cutting off when idle but I can hear engine and exhaust make tractor like sound, power still very weak, decided to run for some time to see if anything will change and take some brake as dont know what to think again
any suggestions?

You released the pressure from the gauge each time, yes?

yes, 1-150, 2-151, 3-150, 4-152, 5-150, 6-150, 7-152, 8-151 - was pleasantly surprised myself . mind you 3 years ago changed all gaskets and everything inside the engine and unless this flooding caused the problem i was expecting good result

I'm wondering if MAF sensor took a bath.

I was thinking the same, can it recover or do I have to change it?

No idea.

If it's a hot wire design then I'd be thinking the water may have killed it by shock cooling.

Also, you say the filter got damaged, check the sensor is clean of any stray filter material or garbage.
