Charged MAF

Do you guys think it is possible for me to put my maf on the Charged side of the piping if I am running 15psi of boost? My thought was to put it in the piping after the blow off. Do you think it will survive?

I've run 19psi through mine with no problems
And have made many many runs at 15-16psi on it without trouble.

Can't promise the same luck for you, but for me it's given no boost related problems.

No stalling problems with the MAF on the charged side. I've never stalled once since the turbo, except when I blew a coupler at the TB after the MAF.

I'm now running 10 psi through a 300Z maf on the charged side. No stalling. I had my A32 maf on the charged side @ 8 psi for ~8 months, no issues.

are there any benefits from running on the charged side?

The only one I know of is the No stalling, which you said emanage will solve.

If you have a boost leak with the maf on the charged side, the engine will either run rich if the leak is after the maf, or the mixture will be unchanged if the leak is before the maf.

With the maf on the uncharged side, if you have a leak after the maf and before the blower inlet (unmetered air is drawn in), you will run lean.
