Lotus did correctly place the IAT sensor... at least for a non water/methanol injected engine. The stock IAT is located on the output-side end-tank of the intercooler.

Since the ideal place for the water/methanol injection nozzle is after the intercooler core, RLS places the WI nozzle at that spot and moves the IAT sensor downstream which is after the WI has cooled the compressed air.

Proper location of the WI nozzle and proper location of the IAT sensor makes a big difference.
