You need to have the CHRA oriented so the feed and drain are completely straight up and down. This absolutely will not work. If you loosen the bolts connecting the CHRA to the inlet, you can spin it and re-tighten them to change the orientation while not adjusting the CHRA angle. Your only challenge with this is that on non-vband turbos, you can't tighten the bolts easily to connect the turbo to the manifold.

Our cars have the MAF close to the throttle because it's much more accurate. You don't want to have your vehicle tuned based on pre-intercooler airflow. Ditch the re-used OEM rubber and just make a bend there and put the MAF where it needs to be. Ditch the BOV if it's a pain to plumb in (I ran mine without BOV with no issue on my own hacked up CX racing kit)

I attached a few photos of my old setup. Shorten that feed line and don't bother connecting it until everything is golden
Rust on the turbo is no issue
