    Default What IAT to use in my Vortech elbow ?

    I bought a Vortech elbow from one of the members on here.
    Went to put on car and noticed it has a screw in type IAT.
    Mine is factory push in style.
    What or where do i go to get the right IAT ?

    Anyone ?

    Thread the factory one. That is what Vortech has you do per their instructions.

    Here is a link the instructions are on page 17.

    That makes sense. Since the supercharger makes boost it could pop out and that is why it is threaded.


    Thanks.

    I also use the factory IAT sensor in my Z in the elbow. If you are using meth injection like I am and the IAT sensor is downstream of the meth, you need to check the IAT sensor periodically (maybe once a year), to make sure the meth hasn't corroded the sensor.

    The IAT sensor is only like $10 from autozone for replacement purposes.
