Wet shot with stock bellows??? Guys I have finally started to install my wet shot. Where are you guys placing the nozzle? Are you using the stock bellows, or could this create a pooling issue? I have seen some pictures with the nozzle in the end of the MAF. But I am running a SD tune and would like to find some sort of replacement for the bellows and the MAF housing. Any ideas are appreciated.
I ran my wet shot through the stock bellows and hated it. I ran mine about the 3rd step back from the TB. It just seemed like I couldn't get the nozzles tight enough. I would come back from a run and one would always move around. I just got my smooth bellow in yesterday, and it is a much more secure fit.

Thanks for the info guys, that will give me some info to go on. I will check at the hardware store on the ABS. I thought about going to a shop that sales the stainless semi exhaust and see if I could snag a piece of that stuff.

Ok this is what I found. I went to the local hardware store and did find the abs couplings. What they had was 3" with an OD of 4". That would not work so I found regular PVC 3" coupling that had an OD of around 3 5/8". I took that home thinking it would be close, 
dam it , would not fit it was too loose. So after ditching the plastic crap I decided to cruse down to the local exhaust shop with MAF in hand. Gave the maf to the guys and 5 min later he stretches and cuts apiece to just a hair over 3.5". That being slightly smaller than the flare on the maf.
Keeping in mind that the maf slid into the hard plastic of the air lid I needed to make a gasket of sorts to firm up the fit and to take up any inconsistencies. lol I found that high quality stretchable electrical tape to be the ticket. With this I could reproduce the slight riser/lip that the MAF had on it and also doubles as a gasket. With the clamps in place my made up gasket should stay in place with no issues.
this should give me a solid mount for my nozzle

I bought a furnco 3" coupling to replace the stock bellows about a year ago. It didn’t fit very well due to the angle from the lid to the TB. But I didn’t try to boil it I actually nuked it. I think I will give it another try, the issue I may have now is at idle with the motor not idling so smooth it shakes a little. . Not sure if this will pull it of the TB or crack my lid.

Well, if the motor shakes a little bit sounds like its time for some prothane motor mounts. Fernco is good way to go i spray a 100 shot through my Fernco never had any problems. Took my nitrous kit off and just bought another Fernco heated it up and slid right on.
