Like the title says, am about to fit a K04 in my 05 2.0t DSG A3 FWD, should be veeerry interesting. Any way, am doing some pre work so the K04 install is as painless as possible. I have a K&N typhoon CAI, am fitting a D/V relocate, already have Silicone hose, just wondering would it make a huge difference if plumbed in before the MAF, all installs i've seen, are after the MAF. Not sure how the ECU will handle it.

Definitely needs to be after the MAF as that air has already been accounted for and if it goes missing the ECU will think something is not quite right

You could still do it to a degree but for pretty much an MAF based car you want the air mass to remain unaltered. Think of it being just better to do it the OEM way and eliminate any tune weirdness possibility
