i have a dumb question but the question is does the iats have to be in the intake manifold? or can i block off the hole and put it in my short ram intake b4 the tb

 

You could. But then you'd have to wire in a new sensor.

 

im getting a code for it but i was thinking if i bought a new one id just put the new sensor b4 the tb like all new cars do i dont really understand why its on one of the intake runners and only on cylinder runner number 1 but what do i know im just a honda newb with a b series crossover civic
