I'll edit the first post of this thread to contain the same info.

[junglesmacks]

OK..

Just received my Pro in the mail today.. w00t!

1) Damn this case is huge.. I was hoping it would be compact enough to mount under my stereo but this thing is the size of a 1970's RCA tv remote.. ouch.. Where are you guys mounting this thing out of curiosity?

2) IAT sensor.. I have a DN polished Y-pipe that I'll be using for my speed density setup.. Where and how is the best place to mount this sucker? Tap the y-pipe with some threads say.. under the elbow?

[TurboBob]

congrats.

I put the mitsu din pocket under my stereo, and it slides into that just perfectly.
I need to poke a hole in the back of the pocket and run the wiring thru, then it will be perfect.

My IAT is on the side of the y pipe, near the battery.

What is the best way to mount it? Tap it with 3/8 threads?

[TurboBob]

the pipe is probably a bit thin, you should use a bung.....

That said, I tapped an oil pan years ago (turbo on my Impala SS....), we made the hole using a series of metal punches so the hole bent inward a lot and gave us meat to cut with the tap......

But a bung is best. On my car we tapped the plastic Y pipe, then reinforced it by putting a couple hose clamps near the hole to prevent it from splitting.....

True.. But it's nice stainless steel.. welding a bung would be pretty nasty.. Someone mentioned drilling a hole and then putting a nut on the inside somehow, but I have nightmares of it coming loose under full boost and sucking into the engine.. Threadlock? Once I puncture the y-pipe it's really only good for speed density use anyway.. maybe some JB weld or something.. hmmm..

[TurboBob]

For now you can mount the IAT near the air filter. It works decently there.

Then plan the Y-pipe mods in the future.

You could look for a place on the bottom of the Y-pipe, so any bung/weld would not be visible.....
