NB8A - Sensors relating to intake?

going to be installing a mania style CAI soon, and I've noticed an odd sensor there.

there's teh AFM, then in the top half of the airbox is a small sensor tapped in, just stuck in the side of the top half of the airbox (clean side)

what's this sensor? what does it sense?

my plan is to put a small bit of pipe just before my new intake and tap the sensor into the side of it (so the clean side of the filter once again)

edit:
here's a pretty bad pic, ignore the red and green, they were for a different question ages ago.

the sensor in question can be seen on the right hand side of the airbox, sticking out the side just near the snorkel.

i cant tell by the photo but if its held in by a rubber grommet its an air temp sensor, black plastic about 3cm long & has a small ball thingy on the end (inner side)

drill new pipe add the grommet & push in the sensor :wink:

peice of cake

quick question, doesthe sensor just pull out?

I gave it a good pull and it moved a bit but seemed to be caught like it had a lip on it, is it just a tight fit? or do I need to twist or something?

dont want to force it too much and break something.
