Your arrows for air flow direction are correct and the supercharger is before the throttle body. With a carburetor, the supercharger had to be after the carb, unless the carb was in an air-tight box. With fuel injection it doesn't matter whether the throttle is before or after the supercharger, so the supercharger, intercooler and plumbing can be placed for a combination of best effect and convenience.

Your drawing is almost correct, the air goes from ther airfilter box into a plastic piece that's about a foot long that goes over the bypass valve (front) and s/c intake (rear). The thing above what you are pointing to as the s/c is the bypass valve (similar to a wastegate in a turbo application in that it bleeds off unneeded boost whereas the wastegate bleeds off unneeded exhuast pressure).

You can get panel filters from K&N and ITG, I've shown 3-4 rwhp gains across the power band, not just at high RPM on two different coupes.
But if you are looking to replumb the entire intake and use a larger maf then you may be on your own, nobody does this that I've heard of but I know it can be done, ReigerSLK did a custom intake all the way from the s/c to the MAF sensor including a customer intercooler, I believe he paid about $1,500.
The other thing you can do to cool the air intake and reduce the chance of detonation is water injection, runs about $500.
And of course there's always NO2 in the intake, nothing perks a car as much for the money.

Time for an ABV mod.
This is a little thing the Toyota guys do to their Supercharged MR2, you trick the ABV into staying closed so the boost doesn't bleed back into the intake.

Not that I advocate this much less know with any level of certainty the effects of it, here is a quick write up on it.
I was thinking more along the lines of replumbing it. MB uses plastic plumbing. Is there any advantage to utilizing silicone hoses in the plastics place? (write up in Eurotuner on silicone hoses this month, sorry)

It dont by re-routing some vac lines, granted the MR2 is 10 year older then the SLK and is a more simpler design.
