Does anyone know where to locate the IAT (Intake Air Temp) Sensor? I purchased a mod for it, but I'll be damned if I can locate it. I've narrowed it down to two choices, but I don't want to make the wrong choice and screw up the engine.

correct me if i am wrong but i believe it is integrated in the MAF because of how it records the air with a hot wire. dunno tho, my other guess would be just after the TB somewhere

Hey all,Yes this was one of those miracle 20hp mods from ebay (Della Performance -Xmod), but I figured for $24 bones, what the hell. Besides even if it were to only give me an additional 5hp, that’s still better than dropping $150+ for a decent Cold Air-Intake to only achieve the same results. The thing that bothers me the most is the guy who sells them won’t reply to any of my emails asking for helpI still haven't been fortunate enough to locate the IAF sensor and the MAF is also eluding me. However, when I contacted my dealer they also hinted at the MAF sensor, but the mechanics were all busy so they weren’t able to tell me where to find it. Unfortunately I’m very mechanically challenged when it comes locating anything other than the basics.If anyone knows where I can get a good (K&N or AEM type) Cold Air-Intake or any reasonably priced performance part, PLEASE let me know.

Thanks for all your help
