Air Intake Box Temp Sensor?

I have read alot of posts on installation of aftermarket intake systems, and didn't notice anything about what to do with the temperature sensor mounted on the stock filter box.

It looks like some kind of temperature sensor, and I did not know what it's effect on system is when other intake systems are installed.

Any input on this?

Just lay it off to the side. I stuck mine up against the fender well. It will read the unerhood temp next to the filter, which is what it used to do.

I wire tied mine to one of the inner fender braces on the driver side fender when I did my open element intake, it works fine.

You can also take a piece of sheet metal and make a "L" shaped bracket, drill a hole big enough for the sender on the long part and a hole for a bolt on the short part and mount it to a support bolt on the inner fender well.
