really? I’m not delving deep into it here, but I would assume its almost bass-ackawrds to put the meter infront of the turbo & IC.

I’ve never done it with a MAF, only with VAMs (think trap door & spring)… and draw through fucking sucked in every way by comparison to blowthrough. Especially once a front mount was introduced.
