well, i don't know what kind of car you have, but on mine, i have an IAT (intake air temp) sensor mounted before my t.b. in my intake pipe. as far as tricking it?? you could just extend the wire and zip tie it some where like near the head light or something :-\ it wouldn't make much difference though.

well iwas reading on the turbo projects section on the main page and there is one guy there where he put a resistor inline with the senor input or some shizz like that and "it tricks its to making it think its still cold making it run a little richer" but yeah hey thanks

You can trick it, but its a lot of work that isnt really worth it, get a fpr or a slightly larger set of injectors. Its the sensor on the right side of the intake manifold on the last runner.. white sensor

If you've got your heart set on this, do it to the ECT sensor. Youll see bigger results. The IAT doesnt really trim the fuel that much. (unless your running ginormo injectors)
