Default HELP!! VORTECH V3 INSTALL!!

Hey guys,
I'm installing my V3 vortech kit (2008 GT) from Brenspeed tonight and have a couple of questions. Brenspeed told me to drill out the #2 intake runner and tap for an IAT sensor...ok no prob!! I have the tap and drill bit after extensive searching..my question is where do you hook that senor up to?? They gave me a pigtail, but i'm not sure where to put it. My other question is do i need to extend the MAF sensor, and if i do, they didn't send me any extension wires. This is a non-intercooled kit if that makes a diff. If anyone has any help please let me know. I'm going to bed tonight after taking intake off, relocating power steering resivor, draining rad, changing thermo adaptor and drilling down the mount on the valve cover and cutting the timing cover bolt. I will continue tomorrow, but could use some suggestions on these 2 problems.

Thanks

I have a 2000 so I may be wrong on some things. Your IAT should already be in your stock intake tube. You just need to relocate it to where you are putting it now. You may have to extend the (2?) wires on it. I didn't know you have to extend all the MAF sensor wires that would be a PITA won't it reach to the area where you have the MAF sensor and air filter?

The IAT sensor in my 2003 gt was in my MAF. I bought a 90 mm lightning MAF along with my procharger kit but it didn't have the IAT sensor in it so I had to buy one and install it right before the throttle body. I had to extend the 2 wires up to the new IAT sensor. Your MAF might have the IAT sensor in it too. My stock MAF was a 6 pin and I think it was the 2 outside wires the were for the IAT.
