Plug in front side of MAF pipe...
On my VY SS, there is a one small plug in the side of the MAF pipe on the front side (sort of behind the headlight). What is this plug? Only reason i ask, is because i got a GTS MAF pipe last night and there is no hole for this plug, is it essential to have this plug in the GTS pipe?

if ya can post a pic of what you're seeing so I can be 100% sure.
are you still using the MAF sensor?

Ok i'll find a pic of someones on here. There is only one plug in my original pipe.
LS-EXUAL
Yup................
O.G.
saw a pic of a VY SS here but I can't see the sensor as the black shroud hides everything.
LS-EXUAL
Ok i'll go take a pic.
LS-EXUAL
See in pic attached......
O.G.
yup, that's your IAT sensor. just follow the steps I posted here earlier and you'll be right. My VX had the same setup but I ended up putting that sensor in the front of my airbox. if you want to we can swap airbox lids as mine is already setup with the IAT in it.

No probs, i might do the same, don't really wanna drill into the MAF pipe.
LS-EXUAL
LOL, Holden reckon there is no clip.
O.G.
those idiots. haha you can ask for the clip that holds the iat sensor in the airbox for a VT V6. it's the same clip.
LS-EXUAL
They reckon there is no clip for any IAT sensor. I hung up because he sounded that thick that i was getting angry.
LS-EXUAL
And the stupid **** kept thinking i was saying IAC sensor until i screamed it down the phone at him. He kept saying "i don't know what an IAC sensor is". Then i said mate, an IAC sensor is an "Idle air control" sensor, but THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O.G.
here's what I did with mine.. custom install haha
LS-EXUAL
Hmmm, i might try and put something together. I can't ring those guys again, they seriously irritate me.
O.G.
holden spare parts can be dumbshits sometimes..
LS-EXUAL
Or all the time. Just trying to think what i can use to secure it into the airbox.....
Unless someone has a part number for that clip.
LS-EXUAL
Wait, why do i need a new one, what's holding the current one in the original MAF pipe?
Clip temp sensor
P/N 92052073
O.G.
nice work ziggy. cobez the original one just pushes into the plastic. there is no clip!
LS-EXUAL
Thanks Ziggy, good work dude!!!
Mike, i'm gonna drill an 8MM or thereabouts hole in the front of the pipe, then hopefully i can push it in and the little ridges it has on the sensor itself will pop through and hold it in, same deal at the original maf pipe.
O.G.
sounds like a plan. I secured mine in my airbox with 3 rubber o-rings and it was a factory fit. top half of my airbox on standby....
LS-EXUAL
Hahaha, good call on the airbox lid
Should be ok. The sensor barrel looks to be about 8MM in thickness, gonna start with a 6MM hole, if not big enough, step up to a 7MM hole etc etc until it fits in snug. But yeah, airbox lid on standby just in case
O.G.
yeah it's a bastard because the end of the sensor is bigger than the body of it.. who designs the stuff??
