Sensor relocation questions.
My Supercharger install is winding down, but I've run into a dilema.
On the old air intake system, there was a sensor installed in the flattened coupler, Where should I relocate this to?
Also there was a small tube stuck in it that seems to go to the fuel rail, again where should this be relocated to ?
Thanks in advance for an advice

As far as tube going to fuel rail??? No such creature maybe take a better look and report back.
Good luck,

Small tube that goes from air intake to the fuel rail is the vaccum tube from the intake to the 97-98 fuel pressure regulator. You will need to tap into the vac from the brake booster line. (or whereever you tap into the vac for the blow off valve and boost gauge...)
IAT is in the pic I posted above...

[QUOTE=rclinton;1578872824]I relocated mine in the intake behind the TB.
So you drilled into the intake manifold? I was thinking of drilling the side of the air bridge and sealing it really well.

I am running the Caspers plug. It states that it is for a GTO, but it works fine for our c5 vettes. You still need the sensor, it's 15 bucks at Autozone, 95 camaro sensor. The Caspers plug just takes care of the splice for you, and looks nice and clean.

Also if this is a return style fuel system I think the line you are talking about is the hose that goes to the regulator on the fuel rail. You can use a tee from the back of the intake and run a vacuum line to it from there.

I have the 92-93 typhoon sensor still in the box.
The way I was being told was I would get the 04 z maf which has the IAT built in. Then i dont need the iat sensor at all. Then the caspers plug takes my 3 pin maf plug to a 5 pin style.
Also I agree ny return style 97 fpr needs a vacuum line to it. Can I tee in where my boost.gauge, bov, wadtegate go near the brake booster??? Thanks for all thr help.

If you have the old 3 pin, then just use it as is, and relocate the temp stock temp sensor into the intake. I drilled mine right behind the throttle body just like in the pic in this thread. What I am saying, is use your stock MAF and your stock temp sensor, but just put the temp sensor in the intake manifold. Done.
