I just got my car back after it was misfiring. They replaced the spark plugs and all good there but they noted that the intake tube (snorkel like tube) has a crack in it and was allowing unmetered air into the system. I want to go to an aftermarket intake as they run roughly the same cost as OEM but it doesn't look like any of them include a spot for the two sensors to be plugged in.

What do you do with the sensors on aftermarket intakes?

I was looking at this for reference:

I installed a K&N Typhoon and worked great. I have the JCW turbo installed on my MCS. now makes more turbo noise. The sensor is taken out of the oem and installed to the aftermarket.

 

Someone just posted an Alta aluminum intake in the Marketplace. This is probably a really nice setup for a N14 engine. There is also occasionally an OEM intake tube on the marketplace.

More info here on the N14 forge intake boot. It will fit the N14 S, and the N14 JCW engine.

If you have a N14 JCW it stops at 2012. 2013 models had the N18 JCW engine.

Thank you for the replies. I think I will go with the Forge part and then I may look at a different filter setup to get more flow and turbo noise from the JCW intake.

What are some options you guys have come across to delete the turbo muffler?
