Fudge, could this be the cause of all my problems?

Thats how you killed your old engine. And will kill this one
If you want colder air move to a colder climate or get a better cold air intake.
Failing that NEVER trick a sensor into thinking its doing something its not unless its to get you home in an emergency.
If you want to mod your car correctly look at some of the other who have been on here for years and see how they have done it correctly .e.g.MarcSP20, Orion, hell myself even now.
I would remove it and throw it in the bin along with any other cheap ebay performance mods.
You wont find any cheap ebay performance mods on our cars, (except for Domo, he is a perfect fit in the rear armrest when its down and is an instant 50 hp, even when the cars switched off)
