Could that be a sensor that goes into the stock air filter box? If your box had been removed, that might be why it is lying free under the hood. Could be the air intake temperature gauge. Perhaps someone else can confirm or correct.

Yeah the stock box has been removed. So where can I put it? Im after a intake extension pipe but I cant find one. Should the sensor go inbetween the air filter and the MAF?

yes it goes int eh airbox/air tube to the meter. I'd put it in the pipe after the filter with a grommet..

Most auto parts stores can order "do it yourself" CAI parts.

All you need to do is buy a grommet and drill a hole in the pipe just past the filter. It should match the area where the small green O-ring sits.

It will really help the ECU keep the timing in the right spot...

I have one for the 318ti from Cosmo racing and the intake pipe comes with the hole for the sensor. I can sell it to you for $20 plus shipping
