Default Quickie: Does it matter which way the IAT sensor goes?
im in the process of making an elbow to connect my ebay cai to my throttle body. but before i glue in the IAT sensor i want to make sure it doesnt matter which way it faces. in other words, can it be twisted 180 degrees and still work fine?
thanks

It will get the truest reading with the air going through it as opposed to over it.

Don't glue it. Install an oring instead. Trust me, you will need to take it out someday.

+1. I wouldn't glue it in bc it is just going to be a headache when you go to remove it one of these days.

what RubberFrog said! I would use the o-ring! You may have to service it one day and therefore need access to it.
