Default BBK performance cold-air induction

Installing this system on my 2002 coupe today and the new air bridge has a whole in it for the IAT sensor, which mine does not have. Has anyone installed this system and run into this problem ? Did they send me the wrong air bridge or do i just find something to plug the hole ? Always seems like these bolt ons never just bolt on.
Need help!!!!!!!
Thanks guys ::confused:

Im assuming your car is an 01+. If so your IAT is in the MAF. The <00 cars have the IAT sensor seperate and it is screwed into the air bridge. Looking at BBKs website it seems they only offer one part number for all years so you would need to simply plug the hole. If you cant find anything you can always use someones old IAT to plug the hole and just not connect it to anything. On a side note, I am considering going with the BBK for my turbo car as the plasic airbridge is too flimsy. How is the quality and if you dont mind me asking what was approx price? thanks

Thanks cfi, i kind of figured thats what i would have to do, wish they would of included some type of plug. I bought mine thru summit and it was 271.95 for the chrome one, as far as the quality goes it looks pretty good, the onlt thing i can say i dont care for is the blue rubber or silicone connectors between the throttle body and the air bridge, air bridge and maf sensor. Thanks for your help cfi_luz.

Sure thing and good luck with your install. As for the silicone couplers you can probably find them in any color you want on ebay as they are very popular for turbo cars. Just measure the inside diameter and get a secion in red, black, etc and cut to lenght. Just an idea. Either way have fun ;).
