home depot special cold air intake
I had made a cold air intake before out of just the black tube, but I had no way of putting in the iat sensor.
So I went to the home depot and got a 3" piece of pvc pipe and drilled a hole for the iat sensor for it.
I was going to make a box out of sheet metal so it could stay in the engine bay but I couldent find tin snips
so I put it up in the grill for now, not very good in the rain, I have to make a water sheild for
it still so the front is coverd.
seems to be more responsive and maybe like a 3 horsepower gain, idk
took a pic of the rebuilt trans just for fun
duct tape on the pvc is just for extra security, it fits snug on both hose'*

Look down under your piping, you will see your charcoal canister. Remove that and find a new place for it. Then remove the liner from there. You now have a great hole to run your intake pipe threw. That'* what a lot of us have done.
