Does distance between maf & tb matter?

You should be OK, I missed that you had the KB in your original posting.

The intake plumbing for a s/c setup is far less critical than when running n/a as the blower isolates the MAF (suck through) from the intake pulses. In a blow-through setup there can be problems if the MAF is too close to the TB, or the s/c outlet, when not in boost.

Ok, but if you look at the pic, my flex pipe bends right where his does. So there is not 6" of straight pipe before hitting the maf. I was wondering if I can connect my filter right to the maf.
Otherwise I can remove 7" of tube(maf-tb) and add 3" (filter- maf)there is already about 3"

It may work alright--if you have lower rpm surging then try "clocking" the MAF to alter the sensor's position relative to the air flow. It's one of those less than optimal things that may work out in the real world.

Ok, thanks.
I think I'll hold off messing with it until I'm 100% sure it'll work.
