Thanks for the responses but you are not getting the point. I was just seeing if someone had one laying around that was junk. This would obviously be the easiest method.

Stock location of the IAT sensor is efficient for stock setups. but very poor placement for modified (turbo) set ups due to heat soak in the intake manifold. Im relocating it to my charge pipe right befor the throttle body, that way i can see actual intake temps after the intercooler without soak variating the #'s
