air temp sensor.

i thought so.is it a major problem if this is not in the air box?

if its not detecting the correct temperature the ecu will be misled and fuelling wont be correct

not a major problem with it out , but may cause long term problems.

i fitted a cone filter and left that black plastic box section in place , i used the stock pipe to air filter box and drilled out a 8 or 10 mm hole in a thick part of that pipe to house the air temp sensor. the biggest problem i had was finding a reducer because the stock pipe is very large at that end . compared to the end of most induction filters . i used an outer racer from an old wheel bearing to make up the difference and slid the filter inside this , all held in place with a jubilee clip.
