whos your friend? and why isnt he on here?

You can do it, its much less of a headache if you dont, as long as you recirculate there arent really any down sides to having the MAF before the turbo as opposed to after

I've heard though that once you get up to like 5-8 psi then the maf is going to start having issues being under pressure.

I actually had a thread about this a while back, let me go look.
