that is your air intake temperature sensor. What I did was put a hole in the flex hose on the flat part right next to the throttle body. Then I just wedged it in there.

OK I installed the sensor in the flex hose and nothing ...didnt wanna run at all ..it would start but shut down 2 seconds later. I got conserned and put the air box back on and it worked fine ...while it was running I took out the sensor and looked at it , blew on it .. and everything else and it never skipped a beat ..why doesnt my car work with a intake>?

did you buy your adapter from ebay. If so does it have a restrictor plate in it? The one I bought had one and my car wouldn't run good with the open air filter on it. I had to dremel the restrictor plate out, then it worked fine.

I have no idea what your pic is showing me, but if it has a square hole inside the round part then yes. It doesn't allow enough air to get to the mass air flow sensor. It is billet aluminum so it is very hard, so use a drill to get as much of the restrictor out, then dremel it so the air has a good path of flow. Then put it back on and see if it works. Did you have to drill new mounting holes in it because they were in the wrong place?

yes as a matter of fact I did however I know I have no leakage because the holes are far enough away to where the dont interfer with the actual intake hole. Could this really make that huge of a differance though? I mean come on it is still 3 inch by 3 or so ...wouldnt the stock air box be more restrictive than that?
