IAT, should mean intake air temperature sensor that tells your onboard computer how to adjust fuel etc. So you need to locate just before the inlet. However if your question is about where to locate the wires, by all means keep away from hot surfaces like exaust manafolds, engine blocks etc. Just be careful and tye up out of the way, but allow slack to account for engine vibration and torque movement.

use the same gauge wire that is there, won't be a problem. Just make sure that it is mounted in the air intake system.
