the air sensor is in the air tube going to the engine... if you are planing on yust putting the pob on teh tube under the hood you dont need to relocate it at all :wink:

if your planing on making a new slicker tube (or got a metal one) you will need to make a hole in the new tube and install the sensor in it again or your cars computer will go in safe mode(less power more gas use)

Or buy a choco chip, and that way you don't have to relocate your air sensor.

Yea it is pretty bad with gas. On average without aggressive driving I've managed 35mpg (that's shifting at 3k on average). But if you like aggressive driving.... man I wasted 1/4 tank in 1 hr once... drove a few miles...
