Default Using AEM CAI as upper charge pipe, what to do with holes and sensor + valve cover breather?

I am using my CAI as the upper charge pipe for my turbo it, what should I do with the holes in the side of it? leave the sensor in there and the valve cover breather to? or remove both and set aside and jb weld the things shut.

thanks,
mike

the breater you can weld shut leave the sensor there is fine.

you can also use a two way check valve on the breather as well

Fill up the wholes with some JB-weld.

When I did it, I left the temp. sensor where it was (hasnt blown out yet @10psi). For the breather port I just cut it off with a dremmel wheel and put some of that silver ac tape over the hole, then just JB weld over that. I tried it without the tape, but the JB weld kept sinking through the hole, so I had to use something to keep it from sinking through. The pipe that I used for my turbo inlet had a port on it, so I just attached the breather hose to that. If you sand the JB weld down and paint the pipe you cant even tell that it ghettoooooo

I connected the breather port on the aem to the wastegate port, and the port on the valve cover to the turbo air intake pipe.
