There is the MAF sensor, which is in the big part of the stock airbox, and looks like it bolts to the heat sheild of your ebay intake.

Then there is the IAT sensor, which monitors the temperature of the air coming in. Its set into the flexible part of the stock intake if I remember right.

Im trying to think of what third one there would be though.....

The third port is for a rubber hose....it looked like some kind of crankcase breather hose if I remember correctly. The hose should be connected to the stock air intake. Take it off and put it on the port that extends out about a half inch.

got it installed, sounds awesome, deep sound at wide open, sounds just like a cop car.
i notice little better idle, and lot more power on acceleration. i put pics up friday, good deal ,very satisfied, only cost less than 60.00, very comparable to a k&n 77
this one has 3.5" pipe with a washable big filter.
