volant installation

I just got my volant air box for the 04 lightning. Im having an issue with the air hoses connecting up to the air duct. has anyone had this issue and if so how did you fix it. The kit didnt come with any instructions and calls to their tech support have come unanswered. Thanks

sorry for the lack of description. on the air induction tube connecting the air box to the throttle body there are the three connections for the air line hoses: the air control valve, breather hose, and valve cover hose. my issue is that the only hose that im able to connect right up is the middle breather hose. the other 2 hoses arent fitting. the air control hose because the factory hose isnt long enough, and where the valve cover hose is supposed to fit there isnt a hole, but a piece of plastic that is about 2"1/2 inches long. well the hose doesnt fit on that piece. Also with the kit there was a 3 inch piece of rubber hose that wasnt listed on the parts list. any idea what that is for. Any help would be great, thanks

If you look real close to the first picture you can see how it's done. The sleeve fits over the extension on the Volant intake elbow and over the end of the hose that connects to it.

that sleeve doesnt fit very tightly, should i buy a couple small clamps for it. Also, for the hose that comes from the back of the throttle body, do you just have to pull on that one until you can put it through the gromet on the elbow piece. one last thing. how does the box mount inside or does it just lay where the stock box used to be. There isnt any other hardware to actually mount it.
