I'm hoping someone with a 2013+ Silber kit who converted to Vipec can chime in here: where did you install your IAT sensor in the system? I previously had a 2012 aluminum airbox and was just going to install a bung, but now I switched to the silicone air box and can't figure out where to put it.

Any thoughts?

since there is no intercooler, I would just put in a small section of aluminum pipe between the turbo and throttle body's. Closer to the TB's the better. But I don't see it making a huge difference to the overall temp reading if it ends up being closer to the turbo. Just my thoughs....

I knew I seen one before and here it is:

doesnt he use the bosch TMAP to tie into the silicone?

You also need a secondary pressure sensor for barometric air pressure, well maybe not need, but should have one... You could use a gm 1 bar for that if your bosch tmap is going to read boost.

DHP, that is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you very much. I just ordered two, cause extras are handy. Here's a pic, for anyone following:

Also, for all replies above, this is to install an IAT, or Air Intake Temperature sensor. You are correct, I am using the factory Silber spot for the TMAP, and I have repurposed the factory Map sensor for barometric compensation. This is an additional sensor used to trim fuel based on air charge temps.

ohhh the light just came on. Compensates temps with no intercooler...
