I just got a cold air intake from my friend BBK, after hooking up the connections I notice that i have a third place on the intake to hook something up but I do not have anything to put in there.
I have the hose coming from the IAC and the valve cover connected what am i missing? The place for the sensor is close after the maf housing. Typically this is where the heat sensor goes? underneath the intake usually... but im not finding anything.

Thanks in advance!

I have no sensor to put in there. The stock intake that i have doesnt have a place for a 3rd sensor either. just the IAC and valve cover hose thats it.

The IAT inlet on the stock piece should be right where it attaches to the MAF housing.

can you tell me if your IAT is strait or little off. Mine is not strait and was thinking might be bad.
