Default Air Filter

I just have an air filter for my '01 Tib. I installed it, but what do I do with the air temp. sensor? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

It's not a great idea to just leave it sitting in the filter where it can flop around. The IAT is fairly delicate and can be damaged that way.
If it's possible, drill a hole in the intake tubing that's the same size as the IAT sensor hole in the stock airbox and stick it in there.

the IAT is actually fairly durable, but it does work best when hard mounted in the intake tube. Reuse the rubber grommet from the stock airbox to mount the IAT into the tubing.

Ah... good to know! Forgot about that grommet too. Thanks for clearing that up!
