So... what needs to be done/changed for this setup to work (let's say you have only one intake pipe going to the TB, so no need for a dual MAF setup either from a single turbo car or say a funky IC setup).

Or can the MAF just be moved?

some problems to ponder about:

#1 delete PCv system, you don't want extra air metered by maf
#2 it is common for blow-through MAF to measure less air that draw-through. Whatever physics behind it are, you will hit hitachi maf limit much sooner than with OEM set up suck-it-in setup

No other problems I can think of except of course one major one. How the hell are you gonna merge the charge pipes? I don't think running two mafs would work unless you had some custom electronix involved to somehow tell ECU what is the aggregated flow but let's not forget here our wonderful DVs that will recycle the air on you and create mayhem on boost spike...

So....all the problems for like no gain since these days you can run monstrously sized intakes/maf housings and the car will still drive primo.

Ive been using a stock bosch maf for weeks now with no issues setup in a blow through position. This is what i plan on using for blow through in a couple of weeks since the stock is maxed out.

well, 1.8t can run with mafless setup since they do have wideband O2 and therefore they calculate load even without maf plugged in so no issues at all in that situation...

ME 7.1 is seriously shoehorned into running MAF in draw-through configuration unless you are running single turbo setup where you might have it easier going with blow-through....

Anyway what problems are you having with draw-through?

Ah ok! 

I don't exactly remember the reasons for going blow-through, only the issues with it, haha. Another one I just remembered is issues with accurate air measurements due to bends etc.

Apparently blow-through needs more straight piping leading to MAF than draw-through for accurate measurement.
