IAT sensor (Dual Snorkel Swap)

Can someone show me where I'm to hook up the IAT sensor in a dual snorkel intake? I'm switching over from the stock one, but I don't see a location for the IAT sensor in my dual snorkel. Can someone give me detailed instructions on this, and maybe a picture? I think someone said something about gutting an MAF and putting the sensor in there, but I don't have the MAF for my swap, I'm just starting to get to that, just test fitting everything.

Right now the intake is being torn down, and most of the accessories removed from the bay temporarily, so I have some time. Can anyone answer this for me?

If you got the intake from a TPI car it will not have the IAT sensor mount.

Only the V6 intakes have the IAT sensor mount which will be in the drivers side, a little past the radiator (into the engine compartment).

TPI had the MAT sensor screwed into the plenum, right?

Then I lucked out, mine had that hole, and threaded mine right in it

I curreently have a 3" exhust pipe where the MAF goes. Later want to go to full custom aluminum pipe.

Great, so I need one off a 2.8. Oh well. I _still_ don't have a lower housing for mine anyways, so I guess I'll just look into getting a complete set. I'm just really bum'ed. I only paid $1, plus shipping for this one, and it isn't even useful to me.

I'm sure you could drill a hole for it, no problem...
