running maf on pressure side?

Is there anything special I need to do to run my maf on the pressure side? I want to get it off the intake so I can be more creative on running the inlet for my d1sc.

There's nothing special as far as mounting. Just put it inline.

will it cause problems with my existing tune? I was'nt sure if anything had to be changed in the tune being that its on the pressure side now.

Question...
If the engine crankcase vac system is plumbed to the suction side of the compressor, will the oil fowl the MAF hot wire sensor? I would think an oil separation unit/ tank would be a critical piece of hardware for the pressure side located MAF. B.

Where do I find 3-3.5" rubber couplers to install the maf in my plumbing?

Yes. If you have your EVAC plumbed that way, you should have an oil/water separator anyway. You don't want oil going into the intake tract of your FI motor, MAF or no MAF.

Napa Parts.

I bought a 3.5" ID hose and used it as a sleeve for the 4" hose.
