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

 

makes no different. The air just neeeds to go by it is all.

 

thats all i needed to know, thanks man.
cant wait to get er hooked up... never seen it done like this before

 

just make sure you properly seal it or you will get a check engine light come on

 

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.

 

+4 or 5 or what ever!!! Don't glue the AIT sensor in man!! Like everyone has said use a O ring of some sort.

 

ah ****... i already glued it in. i'm pretty sure i will be able to get it out if i need to, i used a rubbery silicone type glue.
