IAT Style and Mounting...
Just curious what everyone is doing as far as placing your IAT in the intake piping. I have seen a few cars with the stock grommet and a few cars that have some kind of threaded in style IAT sensor....
It seems like the stock style grommet would be a prime place for a small boost leak... does anyone have trouble with it, or does it manage to seal up fine?
If not, where do you get the threaded style IAT? Thanks

The thread in one is 3/8 pipe, the sensor and alum weld bung is pretty common. I make my own weld adapters normally because some of the store bought type are to long and the temp sensor does not stick out into the airflow.

I made my own bung out of a spacer bought from lowes. It was 5/8" OD and 1/2" ID x 1"long iirc. I cut it down to the length I wanted, then tapped it with a 3/8" NPT tap and welded it to my pipe.
