Where is the intake temp sensor module located at?

Thanks

Awww...don't tell me you bought one of those chips off eBay for $5 that modifies your fuel/air ratio. :)

Anybody please respond

Thanks

I believe it's part of the MAF sensor.

Correct-it's the brown tear-drop shaped sensor on the right in this pic:

Thought so..... wasn't 100% certain though.
Thanks for clarifying.

how do you hook up that cheap chip from ebay to your maf????

What cheap eBay chip?

Not sure which wires you would tap into, but it's irrelevant- the 8's ECU can't be tricked by falsifying the MAF or IAT input signals.

Indeed it can't, which is why I made a complaint to eBay. My eBay favourite search no longer shows all those +++++20hp cheap mod annoying items. :D

Anybody got a CANScan or similar can tell us what the intake temps run at, just out of interest?

I can log some readings... I'm planning on doing some intake mods this weekend and want to baseline some data with it stock first (intake temp, airflow, and speed/RPM with acceleration over time) today or tomorrow.

intake temperature should be fairly close to ambient at speed unless you have a turbo / supercharger in the car.

Last time I did a good run, IAT was about 6 degrees C higher than ambient as reported by the ambient air sensor in the '8... however this was only one run, but it was a decent one (around 100km/h for 20 minutes)
