Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction Question about MAF on Turbo (Chris)

I made a new thread cause I didn't want my question/concern to get lost in the pics thread.

Anyhow I noticed the MAF is before the turbo. Now my concern is the MAF meters in air, the turbo compresses it, sends it through the intercooler where the blow off valve is, you take foot off gas, blow off valve sends air out, so basically air that was metered to go in by the MAF ends up getting vented to the atmosphere. Will this have any adverse affects? WIll the ECU do some bad things to me?

(my knowledge of turbos is fairly limited so please don't mock me)
