Default SOHC Skunk 2 Manifold question...

Ok I have the stock intake manifold and a skunk 2 pro-series, ok well i'm here swaping out all the parts and realize that my temperature senser does not fit the skunk 2, what do I do with that? Eliminate the senser? Would I get a check engine light?

Also another thing that I realized is that when I put my stock throttle body on it it doesn't like close up all the way, like you can open up the throttle all the way, but it gets stuck onto the actual housing of the manifold, like it doesn't fit right, I have to push down on the throttle so it could close up, any suggestions?

Had one of the first Pro's back a few years ago. I seem to remember the temp sensor was a tight fit but it worked. Find a way to lengthen the wire.

Had no problem with the butterfly, you may have some off or mis located.

I did have to grind off material on #4 runner to be able to get the clamp on the coolant hose.

I also cut the excess material off that covered the empty bolt hole in the head next to #1 runner. It blocks a threaded hole I use for the engine hoist.

yeah so I should just stuff the temp. sensor in there right? and as for the butterfly I just cut off some of the escess metal that I didn't need, and also I didn't have any problem's with the coolant hose clamp

just a quick question, would this manifold work well for turbo? going turbo like in a few month's while I take time and build the block, just wondering, if anything who makes the best manifold for turbo, that you would recommend
