I'll be working on one eventually myself with an 03 Focus. I'd say the closer your intake port is to the exhaust...the warmer the IAT will be? With the Focus I COULD cut a hole in the shield over the exhaust header and pull air in from there...but it might melt the plastic intake tubing? The OEM intake on the Focus draws in ambient air...period.
