I'm installing a single 70mm turbo soon, and was wondering what my tuning options were. Would microsquirt work well for my application?

They can handle any map sensor you want.
The micro is somewhat limited in scope. What the complete build?

Your running the maf on this build? It will require special scaling and blend tables to get it right if its blow through

I'm running a calibrated MAF from pro m that I bought from a guy along with the turbo kit. Is there any chance that I won't need a tune and can just run it on the calibrated MAf?

ah no.. now I can help you set the tune up for a MAF but no matter what you will always need to do some amount of tuning..

I would need to know how you plan to have it all arranged to give further advice to that end, most [99%] of people choose to tune a turbo build with speed density using a map sensor

Sorry if this is a stupid question but why is speed density better than maf for a turbo?
