Boost Sensor Relocation?

I've replaced the stock air intake with a Stillen intake on a 97SE and wanted to remove the rest of the stock air flow tubing but the boost sensor is still attached to it. Is there anywhere else I can mount this? Does anyone have any pics? Thanks!

Okay. I pulled the rest of the tubing out only to find that there was another sensor attached to the tubing. It runs from a black box right after the K&N cone to the tube and when disconnected, sends a check engine error. Anything I can do to eliminate this?

You are referring to the intake air temp sensor. According to the FSM, it is not directly used to control the engine system, but rather for diagnostic purposes only. So, if you want to remove the air duct, just zip tie the intake air temp sensor somewhere else.
