Drilling temp sensor on manifold
If one is installing a PI intake manifold on a NPI block and heads, I need to drill a hole in the manifold to relocate the temperature sensor. Any idea how and where I should do this? I've never done anything else like this, so the more specific the better. Thanks for any help!

RE: Drilling temp sensor on manifold
The T-fitting is not a good idea. Many people who have done that are having problems with their car overheating because the CPU is not getting the correct temp signal. Your best options are to get an intake with an aluminum crossover because they have a boss where you can drill and tap a hole for the temp sensor, or you can relocate it to the side of the block. Either of these options will work fine and you shouldn't run into any problems.
