MAT sensor question

I'm working on a cold air setup and was wondering what is the best way to put the MAT sensor in the PCV pipe?Drilling?

Most people drill a hole and screw the sensor into the pipe

If you're excessively lazy like me, you don't have to.. I just taped the MAT somewhere in the general location of the air intake because I didnt feel like wire splicing. I don't throw a code and my mixture hasn't really been affected..car only runs funny when there's a large temp difference between the MAT's pickup and the air the engine is actually getting.
