Default maf sensor and iat problems

i have this module (tri phase) i want to install and the directions i got tell me to locate the maf sensor, then the iat sensor and splice it to get the module to work. finding the maf was easy, but when im looking at it there are 5 wires and i do not know which one is the iat sensor wire that i need to splice......please somebody help, i have researched and i have been stuck with this part uninstalled for 5 months.....please be helpful, if you need the colors of the wires to help provide me with answers i will be more than happy to post them.....

reason i am trying to install this module is that it guarantees 12-20 hp, or your money back so i said what the heck......so im trying it out

you mean this thing?


uses the same concept as the "speed chip" on ebay that messes with your a/f ratio... except the price tag i saw on this little sucker was $150....

hmm... yeah... i think i'd want my money back.

Yep.. a box with a 2 cent resistor in it.. maybe even 2, 2 cent resistors

I dont reccomend doing this.. you will never get your money back anyway unless you baseline dyno your car.. then dyno afterwards.. then they will say the dyno runs were just off, since you will see some fluctuation anyway. Besides.. you would spend $150 in dynos to prove they were wrong.

Pin E8-20 on the ECU is the IAT I believe.. but look it up to be sure.. I looked it up once before for someone else but am just going from memory now

Aye Captain Kirk---I have a problem with the Tri-Phase Performance Module. The wee beastie has overheated. Please send Mr. Spock to the Jeffries Tube.

i don't think he meant to call PAians (lol) tards....

I think there's supposed to be a period after the PA.

now... obviously you're wanting to tap it in from the maf sensor itself instead of the ecu.. yes?



gosh anyway... it's the light blue one (i'm serious.) i can show you the diagram if you want... but it's the light blue one. pin 4.

i, however, am NOT responsible for whatever happens.

please first understand what you are doing to your vehicle before doing this.... please don't be like this guy who doesn't even know what a resistor is...
