The crank sensor is on the block behind the orig. starter location. On mine it had a 6" pig tail that plug into the sensor and the other end in to the harness.
The air temp sensor is in the factor air box assembly. It in the tube that attaches to the throttle body.

yep I say about a 100 or less my buggy only sets 1/2" lower then with my old vw :lol:

I have not felt the benefit of the power yet but hearing it I feel like its the best thing I have done to my buggy yet :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
