intake question, about my intake setup Options

[HaRv3sTeR]

I bough an intake from 95celgt (legit seller...and good stuff btw)

In the kit...he gave me a tube to join the intake pipe (from a small exit halfway on the pipe) to the valve cover but when Ive installed the intake I tough that the tube was to connect the air temp sensor to the intake (isnt a bad idea, after all, I thinK...because the sensor fits really well in the tube and it looks to be stable there)

I already have a tube goin from the intake throttle body to the valve cover..and my question is....should I remove that tube and join the intake to the valve cover with the tube that 95celgt gave me and then drop the sensor in the filter ...or just leave it like that and ill be fine???

To clear some things up. The "vent" from the valve cover is the PCV valve. It needs to be connected to the intake in some form either the tube or the throttle body. The other fitting near the intake side of the throttle body should be the stock location and should be capped as long as the PCV hose is still connected to the intake. The engine expects this to be connected and if not the idle air control will have to open more to compensate for it. So either way make sure that the PCV is connected to the intake in some way and that you don't have an unfiltered vacuum fittings on you intake. Also the intake air temp sensor will not get the correct reading and the ECM will not have the correct fuel settings if the sensor is not in the intake tube for example at the end of a vacuum hose. If the ECM reads hotter air than is coming into the engine it will add less fuel (better mpg) and if it reads colder than what is coming into the engine it will add more fuel (maybe more HP or less mpg) either way I would recommend drilling a hole and putting the IAT in the intake tube.
