That placement in my opinion is too close and will not give real data.
The Sensor should be placed in the rear most portion of the intake and never make contact with any liquid.
It is an Air temp sensor and should not be used as a liquid sensor.
By being place in the rearmost portion of the intake furthest from the meth nozzle you will get real IAT readings that are entering the intake ports.
To many are bragging about how low thier IAT is after install WM with the sensor in the path of liquid.
Plus Depending on the tune may be falsely adding timing which can be catastrophic.

Exactly...and at this point should we even call them IAT's any longer and instead classify them as MAT(Manifold Air Temp)? It seems to me that MAT is far more important then the inlet air temp in front of the throttle body on a FI application.
