if you havent done the 160 or 180 (seeing that youre in Canada) tstat yet, it would be a good idea to do them at the same time.
I dont have any pics but what you do is remove the accordian looking hose between the MAF and the TB. Then youll see two hoses coming out from underneath the TB. Remove them and mate them together with a piece of piping and two clamps.

now what are these two hoses underneath the TB connected to at the moment if they are not connected to each other?
and which tstat should i get? 160 or 180?
also how to do the MAF modification?

since youre in canada, id get the 180. You should ask others from the far north and see what they put in.
to do the MAF, remove the two clips holding it in place and the connectors underneath and pull out the MAF. Then cut out the two screens (one on each end).

the two hoses are connected to the TB itself
