IAT Style and Mounting...
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.

John, if you get a bung Mickey could weld it for you. I know he charges $50 per hour for aluminum welding, but he may cut you a break on somthing like that?
I have to get the bung welded in, and also my Blow Off Valve flange welded on one of the cold pipes....
I guess I need to ask.. HOW MUCH when I show him the pieces...
Anyone else in town weld aluminum? Yea I didnt like how my grommet fit, so I figured the hell with it I'll buy the bung/sensor...
