it should be one of the holes before the first initial bend by the throttle body..
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

you mean I have to add a tube or the tube is already attached to something, i have to detach it?

the CAI should come with some small tubing. There should be a stock tube somewhere, the same size, which was originally attached to the stock intake.
If you can take a pic of the engine, one of us can point it out.
I'd take a pic of my engine, but my camera is on lone right now.

the tube actually will run from your valve cover to the intake piping. it should be a little black metal tube with another tube piggy backed with it for a vaccum line. disconnect that line and attach the silicone tube you got with your intake to that and the nipple on the intake pipe.
Registered User
Alright, you guys all know what's going on, so I'm glad!
First of all, the AEM v2 didn't come with another tubing, might have to get it myself.
Anyway, I'll take a picture of the engine tmr, and post it of, please help after. Thanks a lot!

yep, there was 2 things connected to the OEM intake. One has wires on the back (*sensor i believe), the other is a long tube that stabs right into the OEM intake.Originally posted by Ferio_vti

But on the AEM v2, there is 2 holes and a nipple, does the 2 holes fit the sensor and the 'long tube'? If so, what goes on the nipple, and why wasn't there one on the OEM intake?
Registered User
yah, the wire is the sensor, that plugs into a similar hole on the V2 intake.
then the 'long tube' as you call it, goes to the valve cover (cools the crankcase?? I forget) as IllusionSir mentioned, also attachs to the intake. But it seems odd that the V2 didn't come with tubing.
If you need some tubing, I have some extra that came with my intake.
Then there's that extra hole, I'm sure what that's for. Are there install instructions??

Yea there are install instructions, all it says is "Re-Attach Intake air remp sensor, and the cam cover breather in the rubber grommets, and install the Air Recirculation Tube onto the nipple"
So what you are saying, that LONG TUBE I took off that was at lease 2cm inside the OEM intake is suppose to go into the nipple, not the rubber gormmets?
If so, what goes into that hole than?
Registered User
Here is the current Setup to the intake. Correct me where I am wrong please, and please tell me what goes into the nipple, and how to get the air recirculation tube. Thx!

Okay, the tube (aka cam cover breather ) in pic 4 attaches to the nipple.
The intake should include extra length of tubing to attach the valve cover to the nipple.

If i take that tube in pic 4 into the nipple, then basically i will have a loop on that tube! Nipple connects to one end, the other end is inside the grommet!
Ok, If I take the tube in pic 4 and connect to nipple, then what connects to the valve cover!?
AEM said i don't have a 3 connector, ask me to put a vaccum cover over it... but they should say it in their instructions.
