I have used a 3.3K Ohm ¼ watt and I got more-or-less the same performance
just as if I left my IAT plugged up. But with a 5.2K Ohm ½ watt, I can tell
a slight improvement. Only downside is that the Check Engine light comes
on sometimes. Here is an idea that someone gave me...don't know how good it
would be, but I'll throw it out there and let y'all leave feedback on it:

Unplug original IAT, but don't remove it from it's spot. Buy a new IAT,
lengthen the wires on the connector, mount it right behind front grill where
it will be exposed to maximum airflow from outside, and not be affected by
heat from the engine. (On my 1990 Civic LX the IAT is in the intake
manifold about 3 inches away from the block) Just leave "old" IAT
unused...don't need an open hole in your intake manifold. ;-)
