Ok i just put in my PR stlye CAI and I dont know what to do w/ the Boost Sensor? It was attatched to the stock air scoop but what do i do w/ it now ???? AND am i supposed to put the temp sensor in the extra port near where the 3 vacum hoses go, I did and my car seems to run ok.

I thought the CAI would of been louder than my previous 2 setups (pop charger than franken car style) but its actually pretty quite

 

I pot mine with black electrical tape on one of the intake hoses click on the link to see the pic

OH, so i dont need to "splice" it into anything, it just kinda sits around? If so then im ok i can just mount it anywhere.

What about the temp sensor? It is supposed to have the intake air flowing across it right? I think the "port" that comes plugged on the intake is for NOS or turbo or something but i just put the sensor in there, and it makes a pretty tight seal. Is this necessary or will it just restrict air flow. What did everyone else do w/ their Air temp sensor??????

 

i have a PR CAI about to be installed. What a lot of people do is cut a hole in the piping and silicone the temp sensor inside the piping. The sensor can stick around in the engine bay but i feel safer if its inside the intake so i know its really reading the cooler air. If it were a hybrid setup i would say it wouldnt matter but CAI supposed to bring cooler air than the hybrid setup so keeping sensor in engine bay wont give a great reading. Not sure if that would affect gas mileage and whatnot.

 

You put it in the right hole .

 

after I put on my CAI, I first didn't mess with any sensors except the Air Mass. the car ran alright. However later on I did install the temp senor into the ported plug that was on the intake and the car ran the same but with slightly better gas milage. I would def recomend you put the sensor in the intake plug so it senses the colder air coming into the engine. the boast sensor can be mounted anywhere, be sure it won't melt and make the mount strong so it won't pop lose.

 

My boost sensor is zip tied to the battery but its

 

Ok, looks like I did it right then. I still dont understand why this CAI setup is quiter than the previous ones. I read that when you remove that box under the battery tray it was supposed to get louder. Oh well i like how it sounds and it seems to run smoother than my previous 2 setups so im happy.

 

the resonators on the intake quiet it down. when they are removed the intake makes a loud more pronounce inhale. The CAI has a longer pipe than the hybid or short intake systems. This and the new mounting location in the fender deaden the noise somewhat so it may nit seem as loud. short intakes put the filter right under the hood, and sense the noise comes from the filter it is more pronounced under acceleration.
