Default Just wanted to ask a quick question

extending the IAT harness with some correct gauge wire wont make the readings screwy will it?

Could mess with it a little bit. That extra amount of wire could knock the calibration off a bit as well as the resistance created by whatever connectors you choose to use. However, it is the IAT sensor. I would think it would only make a small amount of difference, so a few degrees shouldn't kill you.

In the stock location it varies by 20 degrees sometimes.

ive got a TSP 100 MAF and the integrated wasnt reading right so i went back to stock. with no where to put it and it generally getting heat from the engine bay.. i found a better spot right near the CAI scoop but away from the metal scoop and the a/c components. its ziptied for now but it will get a little bracket

You've got the right idea. Just know that it may not be perfect. There is a chance it could be off by a little bit. It won't be too bad though.
