The plug on the left side of the picture, with the rusted bung. What is that for? I ask because I would like to upgrade to 3" piping soon. Thanks!

If that's the IAT sensor as I'm assuming it is, it does not have any function other than diagnostic purposes according to the FSM. You can mount it anywhere and not have any issue. Mine is just bundled up in a bunch of wire loom.

Learn something new everyday. Good to know for the future when I install the 00VI and have to fab some custom piping.

I thought the upper bend into the TB was already 3" piping. No need to replace that section...nor worry about the placement of the sensor.
