It was running, wasn't throwing codes that often, but it destroyed all the spark plugs and the catalytic converter, as well as the EGR valve because the car was running rich for too long.

That is my exact worry. The catalytic converter could end up being a ton if it would be damaged as a result of the bad MAF.
