    Ordered the extension connection from BWoody that comes with the 4" CAI kit. The extension easily snaps onto the OEM IAT power wire to make it longer. With the 3.5 BWoody all you need to do is remove the lower half that has the intake filter on it which is held on just by one bolt. Remove it and mark your spot that you will be drilling/tapping to install the newly relocated IAT sensor. Once it is removed you will need to disconnect the stock IAT power wire from the actual IAT sensor that is still inside the BWoody intake then you need to remove the sensor itself.
    Drill the hole using this

    Be sure to use the IAT sensor to check fitment of the hole as you do not want to go too big so that the grommet that comes with the extension does not fall out of the hole you drill.
    After drilling the hole you can either remove the grommet that the IAT was sitting in or have them send you a new one which is what I did. Installing it with a little water make it easier to get through the hole but be sure to dry it when done. Now once the hole is drilled, rubber grommet is in place go ahead and install the IAT sensor making sure the blue tip is parallel with the piping that way the incoming air hits it and not just the outer plastic sides.
    Reinstall the lower half and tighten back up the straps and then connect the extension to the sensor and your done.
