If your exterior air temperature sensor is lying all the time, odds are it took a direct hit from a flying object, or rammed its head against a concrete curb.

Introducing the Turner IAT Relocation Harness. BMW designed your air intake system in a way that put the intake air temperature sensor close to the engine, subjecting your engine's computer to air temps that are artificially high. When the ECU reads these warmer temperatures, timing and fueling are cut, resulting in less power and torque. By relocating the IAT to a less heat soak prone position within the air intake tract, the Turner Motorsport relocation harness offers a safe, power-preserving, plug-and-play solution to heat soak - for better, more consistent power delivery.

ECS lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel for your BMW.
