just did this, i didnt remove the rest of the original intake box yet, its helping to support the new filter right now, until i figure out how to make a bracket or something to support it.(any ideas??) oh and does all of this look right? i test drove it, no problems or nothing, alot more whistle from the turbo, sounds pretty cool.

and this sensor thing..what is it for and how important is it?

 

does nobody know what that sensor is for?

 

looks good, it might be a MAF sensor but i dont know...

 

anyone else know anything about this sensor? or w/e it is..

 

i think this might be a Air Temp sensor, has little effect...

what happens if you disconnect it and start up ?

does your engine act up or does it run smooth ?

 

Yeah I bet it a ambiant air temp senser. tells the engine what temp air its pulling in. I would leave it hooked up and just tuck it up somewere.

 

i havent tried to unhook it yet, im so new at working with a diesel engine i was afraid i would f* somethin up. so you think it would be fine if i just zip tied it up somewhere or something?

thanks for the help

 

it's call the air intake temp sensor. I'm not sure I would unplug it.... might throw a code or a soft code. If you want to pull the air box out, just zip tie it to the intake tube. I'm sure the temp it's reading outside the tube isn't much different than inside...

 

yeah i zip tied it up sort of in the same spot it was while in the stock air box. it hasnt thrown a code or anything yet so i think its good.
