CAI + Chip thingy, Safe? Options

[urbandork]

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?

Cool thanks guys. I Dont want to drill a hole in to the pipe just for the temp sensor which in the end might ad some turbulance in side of the tube and since i dont have the box i cant put it there.

I think ill just relocate it to a cooler place some where were the air is being sucked into. Or i might just leave it where it is.

My question wasnt about CAI wasting gas its was simply about the resister and its partnering up with a CAI system.

I understand what it does and why its bad. I asked simply because i was told that when using CAI its not a bad thing to have that resister on.
