I do believe that some / most versions of Eric's chip ignore IAT.
See what version chip you have and ask Eric.
Hence - with a cold air intake, people get lazy and dangle it.
I hadn't quite figured out - why if Eric's chip ignores IAT - why don't they remove the IAT sensor?
Perhaps it throws a code - I dunno.
Drill a hole somewhere decent in the air inlet, and mount it - it's still nice to view on the SM.
Caspers sells an extension cable if you need more length.
Or - butt splices....
