Default How and where to mount IAT

Just curious if you use a stock iat sensor or something threaded on a boosted application. I didn't use one on my 99 turbo TA (dangerous, I know), and would like to get this setup situated, just need some insight. Thanks again guys!

I used the stock one and the stock grommet in the charge pipe just before the TB on mine, dont think I have a good pic, so far no problems with it blowing out.

I'm using a threaded IAT sensor in mine in the pipe just before the 90° silicone bend that goes into my TB.
