I purchased one of those performance modules from ebay that is suppose to give me better mileage and performance. Is it a good idea to install it? Will it hurt the engine? And, where is the intake air temperature sensor (IAT) it needs to be connected to?

if you connect it correctly, theres nothing will go wrong,. iv got this piggyback too, with a correct setings you can improve the mileage and boost up some performance,.
intake air temperature sensor usually located at the air-box..(plastic type with 2 wires)..
p/s: be sure to have the correct settings,have it dyno-tuned.. or else...

The Benz is a supercharged 4-cylinder, the Lexus is a V6. The engine layout is less complicated in the Lexus, and upkeep expenditures should be decrease than the Benz. in spite of the undeniable fact that the most important ingredient is the salvage identify that includes the Mercedes. not in any respect purchase a automobile that has a salvage identify! also, do not problem about the adult men, they are going to praise your motorcar decision no count number what you purchase! Tinted homestead windows and custom wheels will charm to adult men who're interested on you money, get some lovable new clothing instead!

It will not hurt your engine. But your check engine light may come on due to the ECU being confused. This is a "piggy back" unit,what it does is it tricks your factory ECU into thinking the air being sucked into your engine is colder than it is. This will make your factory ECU inject more fuel to the engine. But it will not help your gas mileage.
