FD Upper on an Fc..where is the AIT?

I swapped the Fd upper onto the Car,and I Looked at the RTEK..says intake thermosensor not connected( I knew that.)
Question: where does it GO on an Fd upper manifold/Throttle body assembly?
I blocked off everything.I assumed it was supposed to be on the Elbow,But Greddy has no place for an AIT sensor.Please help.Thanks Guys,Styx.

It goes on the UIM. It goes in the open area where all the runners meet on the underside. It will be a blue'ish color and the connector portion will point toward the LIM.

Thanks alot Lamar.I got thinkin about where I had put bolts,and I said,Yep,that could be it.
Do you know IF the Sender's threads are the same compared to a TII/FC's AIT?.( I don't have the car near me,it is 15 miles away.)IF I need the FD AIT then I can just Post a Wanting to Buy thread.Thanks,I appreciate the reply.Dave.

I have no experience with the FC's AIT so I wouldn't know. Try threading one in by hand...

they are a different thread pitch. FD is M10x1.25 and I believe the FC is M10x1.50 . Put a thread pitch gauge on your FC sensor to double check. You should be able to re-tap the hole. I had to re-tap my FC IAT threads to accept an FD sensor when I installed a Power FC. Coat the threads of the sensor with a little bit of RTV because they like to leak under boost.

Thanks Guys,I Found a Mini Coolant leak at the Firewall,so I have to Take the TB off.I can most likely Get to the "bolt" I have in there.I am trying to locate an FD Ait and connector.That would make my Job easier,and less Hectic.I work slow,so it would speed up things!.I'll just do something else until the Sender gets here.Cheers,and I appreciate the Info Guys.STYX.
