sensor in air filter box
i mounted an engine mounted pto compresor on my 97 powerstroke today and the intake now needs to be relocated. i can make my own steel intake tube and put a filter on it but i noticed there is a sensor on the side of the inake box. what sensor is it? what does it do? and can i remove it? or is there an easier way to get rid of it, thanks!

I'm sure someone will chime in on what the sensor does.

I wanted to pick a day where it was around 45-50 degrees (when I know the butterfly valve on the turbo won't close because it's not cold enough) and wrap that sensor in a baggy full of ice and water.
Goal is to get the sensor cold and see if that's the one that tells the butterfly valve to close behind the turbo.
Not that it matters, just wanna try it.
