When i first asked about that chip/resitor thingy that goes on to the air temp sensor, which makes the engine read that its getting colder air and thus dump more fuel in to the chambers, i was told that it was unsafe.

However it has recently been brought to my attention that if the the sensor chip thingy tricks the engine into thinking its getting colder air then what would be the problem if i use it while running a CAI system?

I ask this question because my temp sensor off the airbox is currently just sitting in my engine bay and reading probably hotter temps then what it read even with the stock airbox.

So should i just relocate the sensor to a colder place or use the chip/resistor thingy? I also couldnt find it on ebay is there a how to?

I've been playing with the temp. sensor. Just to see what the results would be.
Only difference is when you pull away it will be a fraction more powerfull.
I didn't try it in combination with cai but I think it's just another way to empty your fueltank faster. As said before; If you think it will be faster... it is.
