IAT also effects ignition timing.

If you are going to substitute free air IAT for actual tuning, your ---- will not run for very long.

yeah seriously that's a high authority sensor on a speed-density calculated car. Running without it in a good location is not a good idea.

You're trying to pour water through a muffler installed on the wrong end of your engine? That's nice.

now that i look at it. it does look like a muffler. let me explain it. this was 2.5" charge pipe and then i just got like a 4.5" pipe welded on it and got the bigger section all sealed up. now ill just add the water in tat section (which i call a reservoir) to cool down the charge temp even more.
