RE: Powerdyne and the MPI

I seem to remember Jon sayin that leaving the IAT out of the airflow is bad.
I was thikning that it may be making my engine run rich (I put it upstream
of the blower because I didn't want to deal with trying to seal it with high
boost). But the air going into the engine is hotter than what the IAT tells
it (due to compression from the blower) so the engine (possibly?) adds more
fuel, thinking the air is colder (i.e. more O2). This is purely
speculation, but I was guessing that it might be why my MPG is so low
(unfortunately I did the MPI and 24lb-ers at the same time, so I can't say
as to exactly what is making my mileage suffer)

Any comments?

    Mines is hanging in the breeze..I'm going to try it in the Blower tube
but need to seal it really good so I don't loose boost...
