That thing looks like you roasted it like a marshmallow on a campfire! I think it is time to invest in a new one. I've seen some people running smooth tubing (not the slp smooth bellow which IMO is overpriced) but don't know where they got it. Hopefully someone will chime in.

I purchased several of these, once for only $6.00 with the free shipping.

I wouldn't pay the SLP price. Just keep bidding until you get it cheap. I've never paid more than $12.00

It seems like your MAF is way closer to your TB than what I usually see. That may have somethin to do with it.

Did you just put that lid on? That looks like the same type of lid I have. It really throws off the angle of the maf to tb. My stock bellow wouldnt fit anymore so I had to trim a smooth bellow in order to get the angle right. Im currently looking for a clear lid now that I know wont make it so messed up.
