Question No IAT hole in new lid

Just got my MTI clear lid in for my '98 T/A to replace the stock lid. I noticed there is no place for the IAT sensor. What am I missing?

Just drill one.

Since most are using the 85mm MAF the IAT is int he MAF no need for the IAT sensor hole.

I drilled my IAT sensor hole in my FTP lid, it was hard to do with the bits I had, but I was able to get a round enough hole to make a good seal.. Just don't go too big..

I'm about to install a Z06 85MM (since the lid was designed for one). I am contemplating on covering that hole up with some epoxy and using the IAT built into the MAF, simply for a cleaner looking installation.
