Default What the hell Volant? Unbelievable..

I bought a Volant intake (15153) for my hoe...shows up today, looks pretty sweet.

Counting parts and discover I'm missing one of the two foam rubber gaskets for where the tube goes into the box. OK no problem, I can cut one out of something pretty easy. Then I discover that the holes on the filter adapter don't even come CLOSE to the holes in the box. What the hell?? Anyone seen anything like this before?

I tried it in all 3 positions. what a piece of crap.

Guess that might have something to do with the bad measurements.
