Default What lid fits the best for the TNT wet kit?

I have a Whisper lid, had to cut it,(like I am sure everyone does) and the damn thing will not seal good at all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I even tired another whipser lid and they do not fit. My buddy has a MTI lid and that seems to work. Does anyone use this lid? Thanks.

What are the rest of you using for lids with a TNT wet kit?

Whisper carbon fiber here. Works great. I think it all has to do with how you cut it to fit the power ring. Goodluck

We've found that the MTI lids work a little better for us.

I can't hep on what lid will work better, but dont be afraid to seal up the lid yourself. I've scuffed the surface of my wisper lid and used spray adhesive to fasten adhesive-backed foam insulation to it. If you're really hard core just use some black duct tape around the outer perimeter to fully seal it.

I have an MTI Lid and it doesn't fit for sh*t. I had to build up a 1/2 lip all the way away with non hardening silicon... AND Silicon around the IAT sensor... now it seals good..

Damn, now you have changed my mind. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I guess my lid will just fit like crap then. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Does anyone else have a problem with the MTI lid?

Here is a trick for you.Cut your lid back so the clamp just about fits.Heat up the lid with a heat gun till it gets soft,then slide the whole setup on the car and tighten down the clamps.The lid will form around the MA for an air tight seal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
