Fast reacting IAT sensor replaces stock sensor

I had to take my UIM off to do a few things so I decided to add some pics with a small writeup of installing the sensor. I also redid the wiring to add a bosch protective boot to the IAT wiring. Basically cut the old connector off, solder or butt connect the new wires in place. Shrink wrap or tape the connections. I finished mine off with the protective boot and wire loom. My wiring was already extended from when I relocated my stock sensor so I left the wiring long. You can see where the new sensor goes on the 3rd intake runner. That's pretty much it, not much to it.

Be careful not to over-tighten the sensor, and if you can point the sensor so the air flows through the "cage" that is ideal. See pics for the prefered sensor rotation. I also used teflon tape to seal and add a slight heat barrier between the metal and sensor.
