What is correct MAF Position
I installed the Vararam a few weeks back and I didn't look at the MAF position in relation to the throttle body before reinstalling. I have driven over 1000 miles since and the engine surges at low RPM's and I have lost 5 mpg. I did disconnect the batter during the vararam installing also. I plan on cleaning with MAF sensor cleaner and ensuring there are no leaks between the MAF and throttle body but could someone confirm the correct MAF position? I have searched many times on this but haven't seen a clear response yet with something like "the side with two sensors should be lined up with..."
I assume I need to disconnect the battery again after this change?

I read about the flow arrow in other threads which I will look for while it is off but I assume that only helps keep you from completely reversing the direction of the air flow over the sensors. I am also curious about rotating the MAF to line up the 2 sensors vs. 1 correctly with the throttle body.

Just had mine off the car tonight. There are two arrows, top and bottom. They point the direction of flow. As far as clocking it goes I doubt it matters because the air bridge is so flat that it would change the airflow anyways.
