What do you do with the airbox plug?

when you replace the factory airbox, what do you do with the sensor clip on the top??? If you leave it unplugged do you get codes??

My AirAid setup had a plce to put the sensor, it will definately throw a code and a check engine light if it is unpluged. I left it off after an oil change once and it threw the code and light immediately!

Every aftermarket filter comes with a place for the sensor - You'd throw codes and suffer driveability problems w/o it.

Did you see any measureable differences with the AirAid? I only ask because it looks like we're set-up the same for boxes and I have a real problem with the lack of flow figures by AFE, so I've been leaning towards the AirAid. At least I've never heard of a problem with one and with the lack of a metal intake tube I would assume it to be quieter than the AFE.

I've been very happy with the AirAid setup. It was the first thing I did to the truck and between it and the MIT it did spool the turbo a little quicker (by like 1 or 200 rpm).

i have left mine plugged in and used a screw to attach it to the battery tray. i need time to finish making the piece that i can weld in to mount it to my new piping or cut & splice the wires longer to mount it to the closed end of the bhaf
