Its really very simple. Just find a decent sized bit and compare it to the sensor. Its better to be too small than too big because you can always go to a bigger hole but you can't go back. Just put the coupler on the TB and determine where you want the sensor to be then mark it on the coupler then take it off of the TB and drill a smaller hole that is needed for the sensor and just shove it in lol. It will fit fine, silicone has a lil bit of stretch to it. I don't remember the sensor size but say it is 1/2inch then drill a hole maybe 1/4 inch and if it doesn't fit then go a lil bigger or use the same bit and just work it around a bit to make it bigger. Took me no more than 1 minute.
