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 have a CAI on my GT you do burn more gas but it hasn't hurt my car any. I dont see why you couldn't put the chip in. I have went from using regular to putting Plus in my car though it runs fine, plus it sounds mean as hell w/ the intake.

what chip are you talking about btw?
