I've relocated the IAT (air charge sensor) to the air intake pipe on my
Powerdyne........took about 20 minutes
to do..........and it's easy!
(1)
Unplug the sensor lead and stretch it out to the air intake pipe directly
under the discharge pipe to see how much lead you have, and to see where the
best place to mount it, with clearence so it'll plug in after the sensor is
installed.
(2)
Mark the place you feel will give the best
location with a marker or dab of white paint.........
(3)
Remove the air intake pipe from the back of the Supercharger and from the
flexiable tuning leading to the air filter..
and remove the pipe from the engine compartment...
(4)
Remove the sensor from it's location in the manifold......(pass side of the
intake,
to the front).........install pipe plug in hole
or use that hole for a Boost gauge reference port.
(5)
Select a drill size to drill a hole in the pipe to screw the IAT into and
then thread the sensor in to that hole.
(if your air intake pipe is the factory supplied Powerdyne piece, the hole
will be easy to make and the sensor will thread in easily)
(6)
Re-install the pipe back in it's position and plug up the sensor
lead........
It's very simple.......
