Well many people are using a blow through setup without problems. It seams like I was told that a suck through system was a bad idea on this forumn and was given certain reasons why now that I am doing what was originally reccommended I am told that it is a bad idea for certain reasons. I know that turbo tom at focus fanatics reccomends a blow through setup and this guy actually makes and sells turbo kits for zetec focus cars. Tom has probably turboed more zetec focus cars then there are turbo contours in existance in the US so he knows his stuff. I agree that the timing issue presented by a mystery maf is not good so I am just going to get another maf housing at the junk yard. As far as oil on the maf wires my intercooler piping is clean and I have been turbo now for 3500 miles so I don't think that is an issue with a good turbo.

Then take turbo Tom's advice and go with it.
I'm not forcing you to take my advice. On the other hand, I [censored] guarantee you he isn't cutting the sampling tubes out of his mafs when he tunes, draw thru or blow thru!
