AIH safe to remove

Is it safe to remove the AIH and use this as my boost fitting? I live in texas and the temperatures get to 20's some times and i am looking to know if this is safe to remove.

Safe? yes. You can purchase a plug that is ready to accept a boost fitting from several site sponsors.

Here's a link... http://www.dfuser.com/mfg/powerstroke/73/Intake/AIH.php

Also, you can make your own AIH soft code eliminator. Read the thread linked below to get the specifics.

The AIH has nothing to do with cold starts, so removing it won't hurt anything. It's only purpose is to reduce white smoke during extended cold idle periods. But it's effectiveness at actually reducing any smoke is subject to debate. When I removed mine, I saw zero difference in white smoke, so in my opinion the AIH is totally useless.

I dont have an AIH and I havent seen any difference. I got my gauges from Pure Diesel Power with the boost fitting for the AIH, and it came with the code eliminator.
