need help installing AEM CAI

so I picked one up over the weekend and installed it. the car is running fine (nice and loud), but I'm not sure we did the installation correctly..

there are 3 outlets on the intake piping.. 2 holes and 2 'nipple'. right now I have the o2 sensor in one hole, and the tube from the crankcase in the other.. the nipple is still open/exposed.

is that correct? does anyone know of a site that shows how to PROPERLY do the install??

also, do I need to reset my ECU afterwards for max gains?? how do I do so?

well if it's similar to my car then you dont need to use one of those holes. i'd find something to plug it up though since dirt is going to get sucked in there. i used to have a Si intake on my SiR and it had an extra hole in it. i had this plastic piece that i used to block it. just make sure that the thing has no chance of getting sucked in!

yea its a sensor of some sort.. air temp or something?

I made a typo, there is only ONE nipple thingy. what the heck goes there?!?! I dont want sand particles or anything finding their way into the engine!!

I heard there is some kind of 'bypass' trick that leaves one tube dangling. sound familiar to anyone?
