Think about it, the flow of air through a bend is not equal across the entire cross section of pipe. There's going to be a gradient of different flows throughout. The MAF only measures flow across it's hot filament which is only a specific point in that cross section. There's no way for it to get an accurate average of the entire cross sectional area.


Here's an example of how flow changes through just 30degrees of bend.




if you did that they would be reading 2x as much flow each.
I think you pretty much covered it. I really think the intake piping is going to have to be re-done in some way. I don't see any way around it. I honestly think something like the intercooler GTM uses on their SC kit would be the way to go. Of course, then you would have to do something different with the air filter on the turbo.... Easy for me to say....
