ure not tellin because u dont know??
It's the Intake Air Temperature sensor fitted on the throttle body.
However, he is not telling you because its a pointless hack that makes
the ECU think there is a different temperature than the actual value
which changes the mixture parameters etc.
It is widely accepted as a waste of money and fuel for little if any gains
performance-wise. If you want to improve things with modifications etc,
try asking around here of tried and tested ways that people would recomend.
Best of luck.

But you dont know and no else does until the OP says, so jumping on the band wagon and telling them they have been shafted is a bit wrong considering they are a new member as well.
And we wonder why new members dont stay around that long if this is the sort of response they get.........
To be fair his first post was asking for a iat sensor location so he can fit something he bought off eBay, what's the betting he doesn't come on for another 6 months until he needs to ask where exactly you put the fuel saving magnets as his mpg hasn't changed! If I'm wrong welcome to the op

I was thinking about fitting a kiddies windmill on my roof and then the spinning motion would add extra power (in the same fashion a jet engine would) and increase economy. It might even work better than the resistor.
Edit. just thought, the extra weight might be an issue, sod it i'll just change my exhaust layout and see if it helps me corner faster.

They blank off the Air flow sensor to try and full the car into overfuelling. Whereas in reality they do jack s**t except turn on the EML and sometimes put the car in limp mode.

Welcome to info.... Come and see me if you want to extract some resonable power from your GTi. I can pop bits on ebay if it makes it easier....
