boost through mass air or suck through?

I have an 86 iroc 305 tpi supercharged, is it better to put the mass air on the inlet side or boost side? Im starting to have a code 42 and its dopping back the timing, i have my mass air on the boost side i didnt know if this could be related at all? i have replaced everything that could be related to a code 42, knock sensor, ignition mod,ecm, plug wires and still the same issue. Any ideas?

I would assume you'd put it before the turbo so that it measures all the air that is drawn in.

leave it on the boost side that references how much air is goin thru if you put it on the other side wouldn't read correctly

+1, as I understand it the maf needs to see the air that's reaching the engine.
