Default air lid problem after FAST 92/92 install.. PIC INSIDE

well i finally got the engine rebuilt and put back in the car.. just been tyin up loose ends and getting everything ready for to fire her off for the first time and realized that i had a tiny problem... i guess with the bigger TB and the 92mm nitrous outlet plate kit i have spaced the lid/MAF to far away from the original location that it locks into place... here is the only pic i have thus far.



the smooth bellow is BRAND NEW so i dont wanna HAVE to get rid of it but if its the only way i'll have to do so.. any suggestions? what have you guys done to correct this problem?

thanks
Daniel

you have to trim the bellow bro. Thats about your only option other than removing the maf and put a piece if pipe in its place... obviously that will require a speed density tune.

trim a half inch off both sides... that should leave enough on both sides to put the clamp on... should fit good then. I got to do the same thing when I install my plate setup.
