I believe some of the pi cars had it built into the maf, so if they tried to use a lighting maf they'd have to buy an iat and mount it somewhere in the intake tubing and splice into one of the maf wires. My procharger intake pipe wanted the sensor before the blower which I thought was retarted but was still able to tune it ok.

It's about 6" behind the MAF and is about a 1" square sized plug
