Default how is this suppose to work.

i had everything off from TB out.

i got the MTI smooth bellow and Lid.

it came with the lid plus 1 rubber peice.

i put the smooth bellow on the TB and tightened it down.
put the MAF onto the other side of the smooth bellow and tightened it down.
so the other side of the MAF... does it go straight into the plastic of the LID?

the angle is so messed up i can not get it to fit.

my maf goes right into my lid on the front and bellow on the back. also it helps to use a blow dryer on the plasic back where the maf slides into, makes it slide in a whole lot easier!!!

Blow dryer, and a little grease at the end of the rubber should work. To make it a little more easier just use your stock bellows.
