Default question on FAST90, 85mm MAF install

What did you guys use to connect the TB, MAF, and lid? I bought a bunch of different Ferno couplings and none of them come even close fitting correctly.

I reused my stock bellows from the MAF to the TB. I have an SLP 85mm MAF and NW 92mm TB. It takes some effort to get it to fit but it does work at least for that combo. My lid actually fit over the new MAF, so no coupler there (FT lid). The 85mm MAF did come with a coupler though that I didn't use. If you need it I can send it to you for shipping costs.

Those are good questions I've been wondering for a while now...

I haven't had to make this decision yet, but I found these 2 websites listed by Viper in another thread with the same question:

I ended up cutting a couple of Fernco's up and getting them to fit somewhat ok. I can't see how you'd ever stretch the stock bellow over a 90 or 92mm TB though.

Im surprised that no sponsor has address this issue yet since its such a common combo.

It actually fit easily over the 92mm TB, it was a tighter fit on the MAF surprisingly. I agree on the sponsor thing. Somebody really needs to step up and make something.

It can be done. I did it. It takes some stretching and dawn dish detergent and a lot of muscle.
