Default About to install JWT Pop Charger...HELP

After the nightmare I had to go through with HKS RS intake,
https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exhaust/192565-help-help-help-intake-problem.html

I wanna make sure I got it right this time.
I just bought a brand new JWT Pop Charger from Intense Motor Sport.
Any suggestion on installation? What should be the orientation of the MAF Housing? Should it be the same orientation as with stock intake or some people suggest to push it far right? I know MAF orentation decides wheather Z would be stalled(push it over 4k and put gear in neutral)
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

The popcharger comes with adequate instructions, you should have no probs.

Try unplugging the neg. terminal on the battery before you install it, it might save you from throwing codes, dont know if its true or not but I do it just to be safe. I guess leave the MAF orientation the same as stock, again I dont know if that matters or not.

It's really pretty easy and unless you replace your z tube you should have to change the orientation of the maf sensor.

RTFM = Read the flipping manual.

EDIT: I didn't say that...I was just defining it.

When you orient the MAF after attaching it to the Popcharger, you just need to make sure the plug for the MAF is still on top so you can plug it back in.

If all else fails, go to your trash can and dig past the pizza boxes and coffee grounds and find the manual you probably threw out when you got the popcharger in the mail! j/k

Hahah...true, but sometimes those things are really hard to find! I couldn't even refind the original post that had those links. I found them in a 350Z Roadster thread because I knew the guy who posted them had a 350Z Roadster website!

I help because I understand it's hard to get find relevant info, especially when searching for "pop charger".

You're supposed to see those tutorials by searching.. That's why we have that function. Plus, if you have to ask how hard is installing a popcharger... Take it to a mechanic/dealership and save yourself the trouble.
