On your stock intake:
its your IAT (Intake Air Temp.) Sensor,
You are going to want to take it out of the stock intake and place it next to your new intake, or drill and tap a hole in your new intake to hold it where it was in the stock intake,
Mine is just sittin on my battery tray where my stock intake bolted up,
But if you unplug it your PCM goes into a mode to compensate and just sets the intake air temp to a fixed number like 75* or something
It is like your ECT for air... :)
