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.

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.

Yeah just pull it out whilst giving it a bit of a twist and it should come right out.
