Default IAT Sensor location?

Slow, or anyone...
I assume I still need an IAT Sensor with an SD tune correct?

Where should I put it, and any great ideas on the best way to mount it so it doesnt blow out!
The vac lines etc are not connected, just laying there...on the turbo...lol...just so you know that I know..yes they would melt all over if left there.....
heres a pic..just to give you an idea where I should mount the IAT Sensor....

You most definately need the IAT sensor with the SD tune. Your setup is a little tricky though. IMO you want the sensor placed @ that merge. But you don't have much room.

Maybe one of the other guys will have trick.

The car won't run right without one.I see no prime spot but on one of the pipes near the blowoffs will work.They sell screw in one's -3/8 pipe tap.I don't have the part # now but I have them at my house. We still run a stock push in style on Mikes and Brents car which have never fallen out.

I have a new stock one, unless someone can point me toward the screw in one...I'll go look... ... I'll just drill into the bottom of the pipe before the TB... and fit some sort of fancy clamp!
