What have you guys done with the ambient air temp sensor when using modified air intakes such as the PST or timbersled setup? In stock form the white portion is inside the airbox, it would be possible to put a hole in the PST or timbersled silicone hose to keep it in the air stream, but I'm wondering if this is necessary and if it could be mounted to the frame for example if all it is looking for is the air temp?

Thanks

Not sure what Install kit you have. The TSS install kit comes with an air intake that has the temp boss molded into it. Get one of these if you dont have one?? Build one ?? The intake air temp will be different than at the frame. :face-icon-small-coo

I'm using a PST intake. Perfect fit and nicely built, but I need to figure out what I want to do with the air sensor.

Looks great, was thinking right along the same lines. I may take advantage of the 3d printer at work and crank out a little adapter. If it works, I'll give the design to PST to have a bunch made for folks when they sell their intake kits.

I zip tied mine outside the air boot close to the TB, didn't notice any difference

Thanks guys! I'm going to try making a little mount up via our 3d printer at work. I'll post a picture or two once I get it done / installed.
