Maf?? or did you mean MAP, Manifold absolute pressure? As a MAF (Mass air flow) and a AFM (Air flow meter) are the same thing from what I understood.

Nope
MAF sensor is typically located just before the manifold, ie either of the top mount or rubber pipe going into manifold

It's post turbo, rather than pre turbo
