I don't think accurate calibration of your Ultra Gauge is that important, since you'll be measuring relative changes in ABA testing before and after WAI installation.

Coolant temp is a cruder index than IAT. It's a measurement result of engine load, rather than a possible cause of engine efficiency. We're hoping IAT causes better FE, but IAT is a result rather than a cause.

Yes, if a WAI "box" helps raise IAT, build it and test it.
