why would you remove it? its a very important sensor, without it your engine will run very rich.

There is no air flow sensor on the X16 engine. It uses a MAP sensor. The sensor in the intake pipe is the Air temp sensor.

Yep.
There is a hole for the sensor to go into on the Cav pipe. It's a bit of a tight fit though. We had to shave some rubber out to make it a bit bigger.
Be careful with the sensor though, they are a bit flimsy.

You need to use the one from your X16.
All you need from the Cav is the pipe. Heres a pic of mine: -

You can see the sensor at the top if the intake pipe.
