This is where Racing Beat recommends you install the sensor:

Well I bought a 34mm adapter that goes in one of the radiator hoses, the thing is that there is one on top and the other one on the bottom. Don't know which of the two is in. Can't install my adapter there. Thanks for the info anyway.

If you have the Prosport adapter and you are going to insert/cut the upper hose then I would read this DIY on it first. 34mm is to small if you cut the hose. I did it differently. Read the DIY.

When in gods name have you heard that it would be more efficient to pump water through in the opposite direction? Yes, upper is where water goes in and where you want to install. FYI be careful because even after draining the rad, there will still be a ton of water in the system and once you unlink the upper hose coolant will **** out all over the floor.
