    Anyone running a BBK CAI

    Did you have problems installing the IAT sensor? I had to drill the hole bigger just to get the sensor in the so called pre-hole in the chrome tube. I had to use double sided tape to get a nice tight seal and to hold it in place because it will not twist in place due to the thickness of the...
