Hi i put a 6637 filter on my truck and i was wondering what to do with the sensors that were in the stock airbox? is it ok to just leave them unplugged?
Thanks

Hello Mainah, north of Bangor guy here. A stone's throw away from The County really. I used a pvc elbow on my intake and just drilled and placed the what I believe is an air intake sensor into it. The vac/filter sensor can be left off or you could drill and tap the black part of the filter and drop it in.

Thanks for the help. Does that sensor have anything to do with my ebpv? Since its been unplugged the valve doesn't do anything.

It shouldn't have changed the way your EBPV functions. Are you sure you didn't disconnect the plug under the intake side of the turbo for the EBPV?

I have heard that the IAT sensor and the EBPS both contribute to a similar goal, however the EBPS and EBPV are not related.
