Intense FWI
So i was lookin at the FWI'* offered by intense and the one for 98-03 cars is 179.99 which is about $80 more expensive then all the other applications, so i added all the stuff up
1. 3 ft of intake tubing about $36
2. 9" K n N Cone Filter $45
3. PCM Tray $16.99
All adds up to be a little under $100
not added in the cost would be the coupler and the ring tightner things
but i dont understand why they would be an extra $80??

you can also relocate the IAT (i'm in the process of figuring out a way to do that/where I want it)...i can sell you the reinforced silicone coupler with IAT hole for cheap....

Get an extension harness and relocate the IAT to the filter or directly above it:
Not here:
I found 2 FWI'* at WCBF that had the IAT sensor body heatsoaked on a VERY hot day. Granted this is an extreme case, but the best bet is to go UPstream.

and yes, the t-bolt clamps and that coupler are not cheap parts

In the S1'* the sensor was in the airbox and therefore 92-95 I can see where this makes sense. For the 96-99'* however.. the pcm is programmed to expect the heatsoaked temps.
Overall..I doublt there'* much of a difference in either position.

I'm not so sure I'd call it failed logic. In WillWren'* case it makes sense ... he'* keeping it in an area similar to stock. Therefore the PCM/ECU is seeing things as expected. With the lack of tuning ability on the S1'* and the restriction of no tuning or programming easily or quickly attainable.. it'* about the best that can be done.
