I think the point 4kin boost was making is that by puting the reducer on the MAF it will allow you to run a 4" pipe to the turbo instead of the 3" pipe you are currenty using. This will flow substantially more air than the 3" pipe will even thought he Maf is 3"(roughly 44% more). I think AMS tested it and found some retarded amount of power by switching on a high HP car. I want to say something like 60whp.
It works on the same priciple as you moving to a larger rail to gain more fuel, even though the outlets of the pumps are super small as compaired to the rest of the system. Increasing the size of everything after the restriction lessens the effect of the restriction.

This is why I don't go any where else for my tuning needs... This man is the best stock ecu tuner out there!!! he will get every last power out of your car for you and it will be reliable and most importantly SAFE!! Go Mellon!

Mellon...you can pick up power from the 3"-4" pipe. Especially with an S cover on your turbocharger.
With an angle more than 7 degrees you get flow separation...causing turbulence. Turbulence slows air speed (velocity) and hurts your compressor efficiency.
The shape of the tube before and after the restriction HIGHLY affects the amount of air that you can get through it. TRUST ME... I made 90hp through a 20mm restrictor on a 600cc F4i. I spent countless hours testing diffusors and bellmouths around the restrictor.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. You own a dyno... go test it... find out for yourself.
