just put it in the path of airflow from the front of the car somehow, did that with mine, no issues, i stuck mine in the wire harness and zip tied it in place next to the rad on the drivers side where there is small gap there.

I left the front scoop that the sensor attaches to in place. Have had no problems and the scoop helps direct outside air towards the intake.

drill a hole in the end cap of the filter and extend the wires. a 7/8 hole will keep the grommet nice and tight
