Vortech / Trickflow Elbows

For those of you who have either of the elbows, do they have a place for the IAT sensor? What needs to be modified to get it to clip on or is there some sort of adapter for it? I haven't purchased it yet, but I will soon.
I know there isn't much, if any, performance gain from it, I'm getting it mainly for cosmetic purposes.

Thanks for your help!

Trickflow comes with the IAT sensor housing, think Vortec does too. Look in your Summit mag or online even says it does if you order one from them.

I bought the trick-flow

I bought the trick flow one. It comes with a spot for the IAT, but you have to drill the opti vent.

LT1BRN, thanks pictures would be great.
I thought I read some where that some minor modifications needed to be done to get the sensor to plug in or that some adapter came with the kit, but I didn't see anything in the descriptions for this item. Thanks for your help.

As far as HP gains: there are some who say that you will lose a slight amount with the Vortech elbow since the steel will hold more heat than the stock plastic counterpart, and there are some who say you will gain HP with the ceramic coated TrickFlow elbow because it keeps heat out. Either way, there doesn't seem to be any dyno proven evidence,(that I've seen), to support either view.
