just a thought, please enlighten me..
Blow through all the way.

First, you want the air temp sensor after the IC and as close to the motor inlet as possible. For now the IAT is in the MAF so the closer the better. Second, having a suck through design, IC plumbing, a BOV venting to atmosphere, and an IC, offers too many degrees of separation between what is happening at the SC intake and the TB.

Drivability and throttle response would suffer in a suck through design. I would also have to disable the iat in the MAF and add one closer to home or the whole tune would suffer.

Also high pressure, low pressure doesn't matter. It is all about measuring actual flow at achieved temperature. As long as the MAF and vane system provides a stable voltage curve that doesn't fluctuate wildly then original design or intention doesn't matter.
