The stock ecu calculates the volume of air coming through it differently than a maf does. The maf-t sets the temperature at a constant number because it only operates on one variable: the wire running though the center of it (aka 'hot-wire' setup). For it to operate properly, all other factors must remain constant.

So, this intake temp sensor is only for an AEM-type setup, when you are using a map sensor, which must also know what the temperature is of the air it is measuring. This all goes back to pervererts...er, I mean pvnrt. So, unless you plan on running some sort of ems, don't hook up that temp sensor unless you plan on your maf-t running REALLY poorly =)
