Stillen Supercharger "blows"/pressurizes the MAF ? ?

I have always heard to NOT blow/pressurize the MAF, to put it before the turbo, etc.. but looking at stillen pics, his is under pressure? Does he supply a new one, or is that a stock MAF? I thought they would break/crack/etc if they are pressurized..

I only wonder because I'm thinking of trying my MAF after the turbo to see if it would read more accurate (b/c of differences caused by intercooler and BOV)

any thoughts?

The stillen supercharger kit does not come with a MAF, we use our stock plastic one. I dont think it will crack. Mardigras MAF is still good and hes boosting 13PSI.
