I have the stock airbox with ribs smoothed out and inside coated in a boat resin, bottom has a 4" opening with a 4" aluminum tube running down to just above the fender-well lining, and a Arid MIT and my IAT runs about 110 in traffic on a 95 degree day. On the move its about 98-105 it really works well. Don't worry about thinking water will get in as I still have the factory openings so even if the tube is in water the least resistant path will draw the air. Kinda like those AEM CAI bypass valves.

if you relocated the IAT to the EGR port. it will heat soak fast from the engine heat rising and the manifold warming up.
but a quick hit on the throttle and it drops fast.

Hang on. The IAT sensor is a sensor. If you relocate the sensor it wont change the actual intake temperature of the air, you will just be reading the temp from something else.....
