    Both; you will need a way of measuring air. You can go to a MAP setup if you insist.

    My plan at this stage is filter, (exsisting bonnet scoop hole enlarged), silicon joiner straight to turbo, short path cold air, my car is heavily modified and I am running out of under bonnet space

    What has your tuner told you? Because if you don't have somebody that can design a map for the setup, there's not much point in going any further with this idea.

    You can run speed density, if that's how you wish to be tuned.

    Depends on the aftermarket ECU. Your question is pretty generalized. You can run speed density,if the Engine Management you use allows it,but you will need to install an IAT sensor. The stock IAT sensor is combined with the MAF sensor unit. It's the amber bulb on the side.
