    In the case of a MAF/IAT you need to modify the cable to only remove the MAF signal to the PCM leaving the IAT lines intact in the connector. I think the process is outlined in the E38-VVE Set-up Guide.

    Yer I know this method but I have completely removed the whole Maf sensor can a iat be installed from a ls1 by using the plug and sensor from a ls1 and grafting it into the e40 harness

    Pretty sure it is the two brown wires that are for your IAT sensor

    You need PN 12160244, Sensor Intake Air Temp.
    Also PN 12110620 Connector, Sensor Int Air.

    You then need to cut a hole in your maf-pipe slightly larger than the sensor, fit a grommet* and dab it with detergent or swarfega and push the IAT sensor into it with the relevant wires connected.
    If you have a GTS maf-pipe the hole's already there.

    * I used a 2001-2004 LS1 coolant header tank mounting grommet (same is used to mount the air filter box too on these cars).
