I did my intake today and I was wondering what do I do with the O2 sensor (I guess thats what it is...) I just tucked it out the way. is that good, or do i need to trill a hold in my intake tube and use it?
thanks!

That's your IAT sensor. Make sure you did remove the sensor from the intake box, not just unplug it. Then tuck it somewhere safe or zip tie it to the brake line so it's in the general area. No need to do anything fancy with it.

Yep, what the man above said. Intake Air temp sensor. Just zip tie it to something in that general area. O2 sensors are on the exhaust system...
