Need Help With Lid

My MTI Lid just came in. On my stock lid, there was a wire connected into the lid; however, the MTI lid does not have this connection. What do I do?

Are you talking about the A.I.R. system? The tube that is connected to your stock lid? If you are talking about this, just get a small breather and zip tie it to somewhere where is secured.

So it doesn't need to be connected into the MTI Lid?

No not the tube he said a "wire". that goes to the factory lid.You need to drill a hole in your new one and take the grommet out of the old one and install it.I think it is your inlet air temp sensor.

Guys, I am talking about the IAT sensor and rubber grommet. I'm assuming that the only option is to drill a hole into the new lid and slip in the IAT sensor and rubber grommet. Correct?

If you don't have a hole, I guess so. My MTI lid came w/ a hole though... weird.

Interesting, I've never seen one without an IAT provision, either. But, what Chris said above.

I called MTI over the weekend, they said that the new lids do not have the holes for the IAT sensor and rubber grommet. I drilled a hole and used the IAT sensor and rubber grommet from the stock lid.
