      im assuming you got the CAI, you will need a socket set mainly, and jacking your car up on that corner will help, it is very easy

      not sure about the sensor i dont have that engine, but push the pipe in some more to the throttle body so that the pipe rotates toward the fender, then turn the cai pipe so it goes straighter in line with the other pipe..

      ?

      And the sensor goes into the hole right next to oil return line you have already attached to the intake piping.

      Yeah, that the intake air temperature sensor connector. You have to pull the sensor out of the stock intake. Its a big pain as its literally glued to the rubber tube.
