Turner Motorsport CSL Airbox

IAT sensor.

Thank you... but if we are running Alpha-N then we do not need that, correct? Or am I stupid and this "install kit" shorted us even the bare minimum?

The IAT (intake air temperature) sensor is needed regardless of whether you are running Alpha-N or not. What is not needed with an Alpha-N setup is the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor. I'm not familiar with what was included in the install kit, but it's entirely possible that the IAT wasn't part of it.

Well shit... Looks like I am putting it back together with the stock one for tonight

so what is the best and reasonable priced filter to run with the box, CSL OEM?

Just get the OE. It's expensive, but very high quality and can be cleaned with a cleaning kit from the company that made it. Other alternatives are crappier and cheaper, but still very expensive for what you get, and aren't re-usable. You'll come out ahead with OE for sure.

Well i went ahead and got mine on anyways. Seems to run alright (converted to alpha-n via Martyn’s binary tool). The sound from the short rev i got around the neighborhood (it’s 2am) sounds purely amazing. I’m going to pick up an IAT sensor from advance in the morning and make that harness myself. Been in touch with hassan about getting some tuning ASAP.

My crankcase breather cane busted in to clarify from earlier. The air shut off punched in trying to put the fitting on (had to take everything back off and epoxy the air shutoff too). Then went ahead and ground he fitting out and also shaved some of the plastic from the shutoff valve itself off. Was still a tight fit.

While we are still on IAT topic. I have TTFS IAT relocation: http://tuningtechfs.com/ttfs-intake-air-temp-sensor/ can I plug this sensor to the CSL intake or the wiring goes to different pins in non csl dme?

You can just plug it. But TTFS and a CSL IAT sensor have different scaling. *You can’t just swap sensors, you have to change the scaling.

So which is the correct IAT sensor to order for this intake ? Lol. Or i wonder if i could source one locally

The correct sensor would be the “CSL IAT”. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...or-13621739510

I believe ATB88 mentioned that his “CSL IAT” was heat-soaking. He switch to the “Generic IAT” (the one TTFS & Builjournal sells)

Thank you. My question was mostly if the wires from that sensor from TTFS conversion go to correct pins on dme as a proper IAT sensor in csl. When I did the conversion I just made all connection in the maf terminal not tracing them back to the dme. And as there is no maf in csl I wonder if IAT would still be connected properly.

Mine came broken as well, gd, needed to sell this ASAP and get some $.

awesome thank you man. I doubt I’ll be able to find anything in town so i guess i will have to order one. Be nice if there was an advance auto option for those of us more unprepared folks lol. Oh well it’s not a daily... I’m just impatient and can’t wait to they this thing out with Hassan’s tune!

Yes, no difference. You can just keep your current set-up.

That sucks man.
Same thing was happening with the Streamline airbox back when they first were coming out and they upgraded to a stronger glue. I’m guessing “you get what you pay for”. Pretty disappointing since I know you’re trying to get rid of it ASAP.
