SLP lid and MAF I recently purchased the SLP lid, 85mm SLP MAF, and smooth bellows all from separate sellers on eBay. The SLP lid has a quarter-sized circular hole in the lid on the driver's side. What can I use to plug the hole since it is not needed on my 99 TA? Also, the 85mm SLP MAF did not come with a coupler. So, what can I use between the SLP lid and the SLP MAF? Can I use the stock part that connects my Ram Air lid to the stock 75mm MAF or do I need to buy a different coupler? If so, where can I buy the coupler separate from the MAF? The smooth bellows fits perfectly on the downstream side of the MAF. So, the smooth bellows should fit into the TB. Thanks in advance, Michael

Go to Lowe's/Home Depot in the nut and bolt isle look in the specialty drawers and they have lots of plugs, caps etc that should work, if you need use a little silicone type sealant, epoxy, whatever. I've got a couple on mine plugging the fogger holes from the PO, and JB weld on the crack in the neck. Ghetto, but works.

The coupler that SLP ships with the MAF is a cut-off
portion of a specialty Fernco piece - 3.5" iron to
clay pipe. I have the number saved on some other
computer, that I found on the hose end of mine.
Not commonly found at Home Depot but available
on the internets. You could also look at Baker
Precision, but those are shinier and more pricey.
I used a plastic chassis plug from Lowe's, as above,
with some black weatherstrip cement for security &
seal.

I bought a ftp 98mm lid and it fits perfectly with the 85mm MAF no work required. If you can return the lid, I'd say go ahead and do it and buy the 98mm lid, I gain 12rwhp going from stock airbox to 98mm lid and 85mm MAF

Great advice. If you can find the part number for the Fernco piece that would be great. I looked at the FTP and kinda wish I spent the extra bucks for that one now. But, I think I will stick with the SLP since I already have everything except the coupler. Thanks!!!

I found this coupler on eBay. It is $14 shipped. I will order it and give it a try.
Once I get it installed I will give an update. Thanks again for the ideas.
