I will try to take a picture of mine this weekend.
I have had the vector one on mine since they became available. I ran it through my CAI box (there is a little notch that is just perfect fit for the wire loom to go through into the box. I think it has been about a year or so now, no issues with water or snow or anything.
Definately makes the IAT change quicker than stock. When I watched it on the HPTuner gauge screen (I figured out how to do that part - yay me!), it adjusts all the time.
Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to watch my IAT stuff since I got my Inferno hood on, so I cannot tell you how much of a difference a hood with heat extractors and none of that fireproofing under it has made a difference. Car feels like it pulls better now than it did last summer, but that could be a lot of things (I am just at 7330 miles on the car now, engine could be settling, new hood weighs about 1/4 of the old one, the heat extractors, the IAT sensor, combo of the above).

I have this on my 04 Comp G and it does work. I made mine for about $25 and a trip to a local auto parts. It's a IAT sensor from a LS1 and you need a connector to hook up the IAT to the wires you splice and a little wire (I used 10 guage because I had it at the house already). Takes about 5 minutes to do this and my way you have to splice into your stock wiring and this version is plug and play, but for the extra $75 I can cut some wire.
This will NOT make any more power on your vehicle. It's like how your vehicle runs better when it's cool out side versus hot. This sensor just reads every couple of seconds and adjustments are made then vs. the stock sensor reading every 12-15 seconds and making adjustments.

Th problem is the stock sensor supposedly takes about 15 secnds to react. I've never seen this tested though. I do know the vector sensor reacts immediatley, in turn not pulling the timing nearly as long.

k, say with current conditions and the stock IAT sensor, it's hot weather and IAT is registering at 100 degrees - so now the ECM is pulling timing - thus you're getting less performance.
but.. with the same current conditions, hot weather, but with the new IAT sensor and it's relocated to the front of the car, getting cooler temp readings faster, the IAT now only registers say 85 degrees - so now NO timing is being pulled...
then you ARE getting better performance from it, even though you're in the same exact weather conditions.
make sense?? or am I not getting it??

Or, your stock iat is reading 110 degrees idleing in the staging lanes or at a red light, building up heat. You start to acc, engine starts sucking in cooler air, but the stock iat does not react for about 10-15 sec's to tell the ecm to stop pulling timing. The new iat will instantly respond to the incoming colder air and tell the ecm to stop pulling time. At least in theory.

see, I always knew I was right...

Not sure about you guys, but $15 for this @ Summit vs $99 for the same thing with two wires connected to it doesn't seem like such a bargain... And for Vector to call it a Heat Soak Reduction Kit is insane, what part of an IAT sensor is reducing heat soak? Misleading, just a tad. The IAT isn't getting heat soaked because you will be moving it to another/ cooler location. Pfffftt HSRK okay....
