OK wow, grammar dude!
Assuming I understand you right, we went through the same thing. The air temp for ours, is push in, the hole on the Alu elbow, is screw in. What I had to do was cut off the 2 plastic rings around the stock sensor, and then sand it down a little. Then I was able to just push it into the threaded hole. Works fine. Since you have MAF, you might want to just put a little RTV around it to keep it air tight.

The hose with the plastic tip is the vent for the opti...It draws a vacuum in the opti to keep the moisture down...You have to drill a little hole elbow, insert a small, rubber grommet, and insert the plastic hose end..There should've been instructions included detailing how to do this...
