Default TSP lid install help

i got my TSP lid the other day, looks great so i open it up,(they forgot to drill the IAT hole) and left out the clamp to bolt up to MAFH.
so i went and got the clamp and am putting it on, i notice that the outlet on the airlid is a WHOLE lot bigger than my MAFH, i can see where they cut slits for room, but there is no way this is going to fit my MAFH, am i missing something???

Did you order from their webpage? If you look carefully, you will notice that all their advertised Lids are for the 85mm MAF. I called them and asked for a stock size and they only had a few available. This was a few weeks ago.

If you ordered your lid online, but ordered the wrong one, give us a call! We have very few stock size lids left, but we can do what we can to help you out.

The 85mm lid is sent without the IAT hole drilled because the 85mm MAFs have the sensor built into them. There is no need to use the stock sensor location on the lid itself.
