ok so i pulled off the old stock airbox (it was bolted down, i didnt know that... :( ) and on the TB behin the old coupling i see a little rin with two holes and a little metal filter... i hope this was the MAF screen? i pulled it off and put on my new pipe and filter... my K&N filter dosent have a AIT hole so right now its free floating... what will this affect when its unpluggedand what does it even do? when i floor it, it sounds like a turbo or a cat stuck in the TB, i like it.

SC whine is awesome. You need to drill a hole and get some grommets to put the IAT in the pipe, or drill a hole in the filter and stick it in there. Unplugging it is not good. That was the MAF screen you unplugged, its fine out as long as you dont have rough idling problems.

It'* a lovely sound @ WOT isn't it? I miss it with my muffler being louder...

Not all filters have the hole.

haha ive been told "It sounds like someone is molesting a north atlantic sea otter with a lit ciggarette, but thats how its supposed to sound right?" or "it sounds like a cat is caught in a turbo and it dosent like when the turbo winds up...not one bit".

its cool yea... whats going to happen when its unplugged? will it not let me get a HP gain?

an ses light should come on and annoy the hell out of you, especially at night. before i had my flowmaster installed, the engine would rumble its loudest at 3krpms with the intake. very sweet sound

Not on OBD1.

Just try to get it in a spot that has temps closest to the incoming air until you fix it.

until i can drill a hole and fit the AIT int he pipe... whats the happenign wiht it out of the pipe???

...ait...?

IAT-intake air temperature sensor.

It needs to be in the pipe or filter. Reading as close to the real outside air temp as possible, just as stated here. Your power and efficiency are hurting if you're reading hot engine bay temps.
