Default How to Mod Turck MAF, to get IAT???

Hoping some one could post a link, or tell me what wires I need to get out of the truck 2000 MAF to run IAT sensor. Im doing away with MAF, and need the IAT to do turbo swap, thanks? Like what sensor will work, what wires I need to keep? 2000 LQ4, came out of a Silverado.

Doesn't the LQ4 intake already have a IAT Sensor built into it?

Could you further explain what you are asking/why you need another IAT sensor...

You should be able to use a camaro IAT sensor.

Truck has the IAT built into the MAF. What year Camaro, do you know what wires? I have a turbo, and going with a Speed Density tune, so I can do away with the MAF, but I need the IAT.

Connector positions A and B, Black and Tan wires. IAT can come from any Camaro 98-02. LT1 would probably work as well.

Just cut the IAT wires (Black and Tan sound correct) from the MAF connector and run them to any old GM IAT. I used one from a 96 Camaro, and it was the same IAT that goes on my friend's old Fiero.

Not a pink one in that connector? Easiest way is to look at the MAF and what two pins are in the metal piece are the two for the IAT.

Na..the interior wiring on my 1984 MCSS was the same as my old 1998 Camaro..helps when you want to wire it all up.

Thanks alot! Went to pull a part got like three different kind to see if they work! I wanted one that had the pipe thread, so I could screw it in to the up pipe. 99Caddy/98 Grand Prix/96 Biuck Park Av. There were no 98 Camaros. The Aereo Force gauge I installed helped a lot! It shows that the 96 Buick works fine, all of them have the same plug!
