The MAF (if it's not S/D) has to be in between the BOV and the throttle body for drivablity. If not, the MAF will read will still read all of the extra air that the engine is not using making it rich every time you let of the throttle.

Agrsiv95, a bypass is different than a blowoff. A bypass recircuates the air back into the intake before the blower(typical bypass). Meaning it can be put anywhere in the piping, beacuse the same amount of air still goes into the engine.

Here are a few video clips of the 'Bird on the dyno. Sorry that they turned out so dark. But the audio more than makes up for it.
Hopefully you can lighten up the videos with your computer.Dyno clip 1
