The rubber boot goes from the maf to the lid (over the lid) and the rear of the maf goes to the rubber piece that is connected to the throttle body.

yeah i have already tried that, that rubber piece that comes stock that is connected to the MAF and the TB is a different size at each end one side is bigger and will fit around the MAF and TB perfect and the other side is to small and wont fit

you have any pics so i can see how you got yours?

I didn't think about it before but I have the SLP bellow, that's the problem you have because the smaller end of the stock bellow goes around the stock MAF wich is alot smaller than the SLP one.

I bought a Delphi 85mm and already had the SLP bellow so it fit fine. I did have to get a 3 3/4" ID silicone hose (which you already have) to connect the lid to the new MAF.
