The MAF is in the intake stream after the supercharger...
The effect of the things like the MAF screen are less there and the intake air temp element is actually measuring the air temperature after the compression of the air. Therefore its a more accurate reading of the air entering the engine.
I run a 3" GM maf with no hacks (full screen etc) right before the throttle body on my mitsubishi..

What are some thoughts on screen or de-screened for FI of course.
With all the added pressure and turbulent air I would think a screen would be a plus, to help out and straighten & smooth the air flow over the elements.
I myself am thinking of going back to the stock screened maf............

The screen really keeps it accurate.. It can get lazy or read wrong w/o a screen...
Blow the boost thru it and the screen maybe robs .5hp.... On a NA car descreening can get you some more HP on occasion but on a FI setup leave it alone...
I'm running one a GM MAF on a import and I did'nt even hack the sensor at all...
The GM hotwire sensor is far better than the OE vortex mitsu sensor...

I had a MAF without a screen.The car developed a slight hesitation at low rpm after its install.Reinstalled the screen and the hesitation immediately went away.Hope this helps.

if you use a 98-99 metal MAF you can be able to understand up to 511 gms/cyl/sec, very helpfull in blow through,it takes azbout 525 rwhp to peg the metal MAF,all you nedd is to reflash the MAF table!
