A great place to find your answers is using the search function. Click on search then write in power duct install and then click on archived items and then you might limit the search at first to the C5 Tech section. If you do that you will find a number of posts where the questions have been asked and answered. The power ducts usually come without a hole for the sensor. Most have a flat place on the duct to drill a hole for a groumot and the sensor. I used my wood augars to drill a hole in the duct. You might drill a practice hole in something else before you drill the duct, just to make sure. If you need instructions for the intake cover, you can go to the Breathless Performance site for detailed instructions and pictures. Good luck !

the ducts for the pre 2001 are different than post 2001. You either have to transfer the grommets to the new duct, or buy the right duct; if offered. Now would be a good time to relocate your MAFS sensor to get cooler air.
