How can this help. No matter how small, how much would it gain? Im confused at how this could chance the fuel mixture. Hmm...

No gain but you can do it your self for about $5.00 for a new bolt & some wire. Of coarse you need to remove the plenum to do it that way. You need to get the sensor out from underneath the plenum. It lets the sensor read cooler air from intake instead of hotter air in plenum

I don't planning on do it but thanks for the suggestion. It looks like alot of hassle to mess with for no gain.

You might want to by-pass the TB water line also that helps keep heat out. The kit is not a hassel at all just unsnap connector and drill a small hole in your air housing or coupler

$50! Holy sheeets! Just splice in wire to what you have. I relocated mine after porting the intake. The sensor sticks up really bad right in front of the drivers side back port.



$cost, free.

What did you use to plug the old hole up with, or did you buy a new sensor?

I cut a bolt down and put a notch in it for a screw driver. I then used thread sealant to make sure it didn't leak. A tapered bolt would be nicer but it worked fine.

Thanks. I meant earlier I am NOT paying 50 dollars for a sensor. I WILL do the TB sensor though. Thanks for that suggestion.
