Thanks for the pictures!
Personally I like the AEM because it doesn't narrow done at the end and doesn't have that long arss tube sticking it out of it for the BPV (I have the GT28RS so my inlet is a full 3" instead of the 2" on the factory MSP turbo.)
Looks like the CARB information on the AEM is on the filter side of the MAF instead of the turbo side, which sucks because you can't turn it into a short ram and still have the carp sticker in the engine bay.. doh!
Very informative though, thanks for the pictures.
