High Flow Duct and coupler Install

All,

I picked one of these things up, seems like a very simple install. A couple questions though, it appears you have to drill a hole for the MAT sensor. So a couple questions on this...

1) hole goes through both the duct and the coupler? Or just the duct?
2) The fittings for the sensor in the original duct, can I just pull all of this out and make it work in the new duct?
3) the size of the hole, a sheet that comes with it says 15/16 hole. I just want to make sure this is correct.

thanks for any and all help!

I just installed the one from West Coast Corvettes and #2 and #3 are correct. The rubber grommet will fit snugly into the new duct in the original location

I got the duct & coupler from West Coast Corvettes as well. So, on #1, does, the coupler go onto the duct so far that the whole needs to go through it as well? Thanks!

Drill the hole through the duct only. the coupler is flexable and moveable and will have to move forward onto throttlebody. I am not sure it would be wide enough to hook up to throttle body and have the hole drilled in it.

I will try to post a picture that might help you if I can find it again.

Here is a picture that might help. The picture shows my previous setup where I have the MAT sensor reloacted to the right front of the duct.

You can still see in the picture where the stock MAT is on the duct.

Good Luck

Thanks for finding a pic for me, however, I can't exactly see it! Could you try re-attaching, or maybe just point me to it on the internet?

thanks for the help though!
