I want a good one, I going to be paying a lot for the turbo so I would like one thats going to do its job. Also civic01vtec, did you throw any check engine lights when you installed your kit?
I would like to get a electronic one.

no, IAT is the Intake Air Temp. sensor that is mounted in ur stock air box or intake pipe. SF doesn't give u a hole for this, so most of us just ties it off.

ohh ok i know what you mean, I wasnt thinking straight. If i drill a hole in the sf piping and install a rubber holder from a aem it should be cel free then? saying that i have a aftermarket high flow cat with o2 sensors installed.

right, but some off us aren't sure if the rubber gromet will hold and won't blow out. One member (HTOWNBOY) used resistors or sumtin to trick the sensor, but i forget what. Guns knows about it.

I made a DIY on how to use the stock IAT with the SF kit. All you really need is some sandpaper, a drill, a bit, and a pipe tap. Mine's just the way it was when I first installed the sensor. And it did help my car.
