My point being is that it is worth a try if people aren't satisfied with the draw through. Also it is not that hard to do. I already thought about how to do it with weiboy. Now the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is that stillen did this design because the NISSAN engineers said this is how it should be done. Not like they did this because it was a short cut. Also to my understanding this is how the GTR system works also, so why isn't that car having maf sensor location problems? These are general questions I was just thinking about.
Josh or Kyle I know what you guys think about the draw through maf sensors but do you think it is possible to make a proto-type tube that mounts the two maf sensors after the blower and see how the kit performs. I am almost positive weiboy will have no problem being your tester. Hell I will help pay for it if it will settle people down.

Does anybody know if the two throttle bodies have different/isolated paths though the water/air intercooler? Or, is it just one big core and the air is separated to the two cylinder banks after? If it is not divided inside the intercooler, having uneven flow through the throttle bodies is not as big a concern until you relocate the MAF sensor at those locations. While Nissan engineers may have wanted the pipes to be the way they are, I doubt they had MAF relocation in that plan.
MAF sensors have really strange readings when there is a bend just before the sensor.
