Re-did the CAI
#22
If you're dead set on a "power wire" just do the IAT mod. Remove the IAT and put a 5 cent resistor in the IAT's harness (use electrical tape so it's temporary/easy to remove)...if I remember right you'll want high resistance to tell the pcm the air is cold. The IAT sensor is just a variable resistor and the power wire is just a fixed value resistor....same with that ebay thing in the other thread. IMO you shouldn't do it...on a really hot day you could run into problems. Some here will say it's safe but they're not the ones going to pay to fix your engine. Also any gain is minimal..
Oh and nice CAI rssjib

but i'd take the look of the black over the 'benefit' of the polished any day

I feel lonely now with my CAI. I have a metal one, but it's not the polished one, just a regular metal intake.
But set up looks really sweet. How does the Jet Stream work? Where does that thing hook up at and plug into? Could you put up some more pics of that thing sometime?

Actually for your year it's here >>>>>>>>> http://www.airram.com/product.php?ca...&productid=266

The power wire is a fixed resistor but it does not replace the temp sensor. It modifies the resistance so that the reading is a certain amount below actual.
I agree that replacing the temp sensor with a fixed value is bad. Messing with actual vs. reported temps by ~20 degrees isn't a problem, especially where premium fuel is 93 octane.

Noooooo!

Either way the best route to go is a used handheld or just save your money IMO.
