I believe it's "a bad idea" to put the AMM after the turbo. Something about that arrangement does not work properly.
Oh yeah... I remember... because the hotwire must be heated to a temperature above the ambient air, and placing it after the turbo compromises this. Assuming the hotwire could even reach an acceptable temperature when placed after a 20psi+ turbo (aka HOT air) maintaining these temperatures for a while would lead to a very short AMM life.
There was a discussion on this subject on Turbo! several months ago, and the end concensus was that this was why Saab, Volvo, etc. all put the AMM first.
Someone should try though! :)
