All that you will need For the MSPNP is a GM Open Elemant IAT Sensor, This simple sensor will allow you eliminate the oem VAF from your intake piping.

These sensors can be found almost at any local parts store.  Try to find a sensor with a premade pigtail and a 3/8 NPT weld on bung in the metal type your using for inter-cooler piping. Diyautotune.com sells the exact sensor with pigtail that  and bung you will need.

This sensor will need to be personally wired to your MSPNP Options port . One wire of the IAT pigtail will need to be grounded, the other wire will go to IAT sensor input on your MSPNP options port.  Recommended wire size is 16-18GA, run both wires to the MSPNP, use any ground location near the ECU.

IAT Sensor Mounting Location

The IAT sensor should be placed in the piping just before the throttle body, about 6 to 8inchs before the throttle body and after the blow off valve.
