I just bought a short ram intake from eBay, and it seems I'm missing some things.

First of all, the stock intake has a plastic box that, as far as I can tell, is empty. It hooks in to the side of the rubber tube close to the airbox through a 1½ inch (roughly) diameter hole. The box seemed to hold the intake in place, but it's also hollow, weirdly shaped, and actually connects to the intake. The intake also had a little hole next to the manifold that had nothing connected to it.

Second, I can't find whatever sensor goes into the rubber-lined hole on the new intake right next to the filter. My brother bought an intake like this a couple years back on his old Celica, and he did have a sensor that went in there.

Third, I can't find whatever sensor hooks up to the rubber hose that comes out of the right (passenger) side of the new intake. What's it supposed to lead to?

Here are some images:

actually, if you have a cali spec 2.2 (GT) you use the small nipple on that intake for the IAC hose.
the temp sensor that goes in the other side will be in your engine bay, on the drivers side, near the strut tower, where the air box was. (it normally plugs into that) you will need the grommet out of the old air box.

What is the IAC hose? I have a GT-S 2.2( Don't know if thats the same as what you said) But on my intake I had teh nipple capped off, but that fell off so I put a mini filter on it. Is this right? I also have an OEM hose running from the valve cover to the the throttle body right next to where the whole intake goes.
