I am assuming you are putting it in a plastic K&N Gen II intake,all you have to do is drill a 1/2" hole and screw the IAT sensor into the plastic,it cuts its own threads into the plastic and seals,for added insurance I put a rubber grommet on the threaded part of the sensor,the grommet has a 1/2"hole and is about 3/4"round and about 1/4" thick.So you screw in the sensor until it smashes against the grommet a little and your done,the sensor itself only costs about $11 or $12,I just bought a new one and did it,left the stock one in the manifold,easier that way.I have pictures of it if need be.

Do not use silicone to seal the threads. The vapors from the un cured sealant will kill the o2 sensors. Teflon tape is your best bet.
