I read Andy's post about his updated ATI system, and I didn't understand this part..........and just wanted to know what the advantages or disadvantages were.

I also have the system available as a draw through as opposed to a blow through MAF setup. The inlet duct to the blower goes down as in the picture and turns right. The MAF and filter are mounted behind the right fog light opening. The BOV is mounted on a flange that I weld to the intercooler. The BOV outlet is routed back into the intake duct. I'm doing this with the F1-R setup , but can do it with any of the other blowers.


Thanks
