mti lid holes?
mti lid holes? Hmm, took off my mti lid to do the free ram air install today, and noticed that theres 4 small holes, followed by 3 penny sized holes near the IAT sensor on the part that attaches to the MAF. From what I can tell, it lets unfiltered in straight to the MAF, am I looking at this wrong?

Not sure what the heck happened here, I doubt it comes that way.

cut out and epoxy a little section of a plastic paint stirer on the inside of the lid right on top of it, and seal it with some rtv sealant.
Suggestion for repair? It looks intentional, so not sure what wacky intention it was. Probably let a lot of nasty dirt inside tho by now. Darn risk of buying used cars I guess.

you dont have to use that specificly, but i just found they make a great low profile brace for plastic products.
I put the back of my car through a fence, and got a 6inch rip in my bumper cover right below the tail light. i couldnt get another one for a month or two, so I took it off, and gorilla glued some plastic paint stirers i had in the garage on the back of the rip to hold it together, and it worked great! i used clamps to hold it all together, and they held together for liek 6months, even when i replaced the bumper,and pulled on it to get it off, the seam didnt seperate
heres a little pic i stiched together for ya
that paint stick was even dirty and half melted for some reason and it worked great.
ths black tape on the white is to protect the paint from the clamp

The car I bought came with the lid, never noticed the holes until last night when I took the lid off. Someone was on crack. I hate to replace it, hopefully can fix it, since I'm broke enough as it is. ;-)
Thanks for your patience CamaraExtra; I think it was way past my bedtime or something because I couldn't understand what the heck you were talking about. I was like, what the hell is plastic paint, and why would a stirer be useful? LOL sigh.

I asked the previous owner, he said he got it used for like $25 and he only plugged the one hole that was tapped for nitrous. I don't think he realized that the open holes were going to let unfiltered air in. grumble grumble
The small holes are strange, no cracks or anything so they were well done holes at least, but who the heck knows why!
