i have a thomas racing chip that Replaces the IAT sensor. does anyone know if the mass airflow sensor is connected to the IAT becuase that will make installation a alot more difficult. thanks oh yea i have a 96 avalon xl 1mz-fe 3L 24v 4cam.

For what it's worth (exactly nothing), the IAT sensor is inside the MAF sensor. These things are bogus, man. First, it's a chip you can get at radio shack for 10 bucks. Second, tricking the computer into thinking its cold outside when it's really isn't will not yield you performance gains.

ok thanks. it was twenty bucks off ebay so i figured why not buy it but then i thought it best not to mess with the electrical cuz im not a professional tuner. anyway something that good couldnt be that cheap right? lol. but i idid get a complete set of slot-drilled performance rotors and pads off brakeplanet for 200 bucks that i put on sunday and they are NICE. anyway thanks. by the way does anyone know where to look for a good ram intake for my car? it should be easy as its a straight shot from air box to throttle body. no bends at all which means no restriction which meaans good results!
