Default How are you guys running your IAT sensor?
Since were all turboed and very little is stock in terms of the piping, how are yall running these sensors? Ive heard some people use the syclone screw in type but ive also seen people reuse the stock ones.

But i sold my stock gasket by accident.

Does that sensor utilize the stock connector? I prefer not to cut the harness.
