Default Roush TVS1900 question/help

I scored one a few months ago. Other than the kit what's needed to install it on a 2008-2010 5.3? Any extra parts?

I know I'll need a tune, what else to get her running? I'm a complete newbie on FI
Thanks

Thanks for the offer man, already have them.

More than anything I want to know if it's imperative that I get stuff like sensors, gauges etc., or if it's possible to just install the kit as it comes and be done with it. I don't plan to tune anything myself.

Tune will be done by Justin @ BB

The kit is designed to go straight on with the exception of a tune but youll want the supporting mods like lts and such, i went with a custom cam and couldnt be happier...



Edit: i suggest a remote iat sensor put into the lower manifold so ur iats will be more accurate!

Thanks man, I'll get the IAT sensor, I remember I saw a thread with pics on where to drill for it, I'll search.

This may be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway, how or were do you wire the sensor up?

Tan and black wires on one side of the MAF plug are for the IAT.. Just cut them and wire to the new IAT. Polarity doesn't mater.

There's more than one tan wire in that part of the harness so make sure you ohm it out to make sure you've got the right one.

And how do I know what's the right one? What ohms should I look for?

I don't have a clue working on trucks, but I did a cam & spring swap last year with info I read here so this should be a piece of cake lol

I almost forgot, any chance that you remember what size drill did you used to install the IAT sensor? Drill material (in case it's needed)?

Thank you all for your help.
