    hey i want to make a diy intake. I heard that a 4inch 45 degree tube would be good. Just wanted to check. also how did you to the air intake temp sensor? just drill a hole and get a rubber gasket or whatever the proper term is. also what brand filter should i get k&n or a cheaper version? thanks for any help

    Spectre filter. Either drill a hole or just leave the iat sensor out. I've seen it done both ways, but you might get a code if you leave it hanging there. As for the tube part, I've seen a bunch of different approaches to that. Some guys buy aluminum piping, some use pvc, some use that flexible rubber tubing stuff. There are threads on how to do this in the how to section.

    no idea wtf your taking about. "still"


    we use a pcv valve, not a breather on the valve cover cap. and theres only one filter on a intake. and its in your stock air box or a open cone air filter if you removed the stock air box to make a diy intake.

    we dont ever use that on our cars. it lets un metered air in the engine. we use a pcv once again. only turbo guys need to use that breather on the v/c.

    why would you put a filter on the ait hole? you need that sensor so the engine knows what the "air intake temps" are "ait" sensor.

    some guys just put the ait sensor inside the open cone filter and call it good. if the filter is on the TB directly theres no hole to put it in.

    some will just zip tie it to the outside of the air filter. im no fan of either of those.
