Not exactly sure what's you're wanting. All you need to do is create a new hole for the sensor then extend the wiring. I've not seen a "relocator" kit for this before.

Because the PCM will eventually "figure out" that the air you're drawing in is not as cold as that IAT says it is. Maybe worth doing it for a couple passes, but the PCM is eventually going to know what's going on and it's going to adjust for it to negate any gains you might have had.

good point I guess that one went over my head. I myself am thinking of relocating mine seeing how mine is also 40-50 degrees over ambient temps. Now to just find a place to put it.

mine would read higher at part throttle but once i hit wot it would basicly hit the outside temp...

yeah. From loggin it takes a couple mins on the highway for the IAT on my car to get within 10 degrees of the ambient temp going 60mph.
