running a MAF under pressure

I did a search, nobody really touched on this. Does anything need to be done with the maf to make it work properly under pressure as apposed to the suction side of a s/c?

Mine has no screen or anything, any downsides to running it on the pressure side?

No, X amount of air passing from entry to exit is the same on both sides of the supercharger.

well my recirc is closed loop no and I'd like to open it up for cooler charge. Also I sort of meant, will it hurt the MAF to be under pressure?

I've never heard of it being a problem, and a lot of people do it. If someone has had a problem, hopefully they will respond.

No, you won't have any problems running your MAF as a blow through, unless the MAF itself was flawed to begin with.
