The IAT sensor is a thermoister. You relocating the sensor wont make any difference to the engine technically, because all it reads is just the temp. of the air going into the engine. However for best gas mileage as close to the intake as it can be is when manufactures usually put it.

Dont relocate it. Making the sensor read Colder is just gonna make your car run rich, all the time. Leave it as close to stock location as you can. If you do a search, you will find 50+ threads about this, and a few interesting ones when i tried different "solutions".
Including a drop in mileage about 50% with an increase in power by about 4 hp dyno'd.

Its not worth it, unless you swap it for track use only.
