HKS VPC temperature sensor placement

[SideWinderGX]

Could've sworn I saw a picture of someone who had the IAT sensor threaded into the back of the intake manifold where there is currently a bung/vacuum line. Can't find the picture for the LIFE of me, as I need to know if I need a bung or the sensor just threads in.

Thanks!

you could do that. Alot of people put it in the 3000 pipe or that general area.

Dang, quick response haha, thanks.

Yup seen a few pics of the drilled/threaded hole in the 3000 pipe (I actually have an extra one I could do it to) but if I could just thread it into an existing hole that's easier and less permanent. Just don't know if I need a bung for it or not.

AHA, found it!

Can't tell if there is a bung there or not though, damn.

edit: Duh, re-reading the thread he says its threaded into a bung, don't know which one it is though. Which is unfortunate because I don't know the thread pitch of that hole (or the sensor actually). I'll figure it out when it arrives.

Thanks guys
