Default Magnuson IAT location and spacer L83 5.3

Doing some research on putting a magnuson SC on a 2014 5.3 RCSB. Looks like the IAT stays in the mass air meter with the magnuson kit? Anyone relocate it to the lower intake after the intercooler?
Also anyone used the supercharger spacer from RDS
Super Street Performance ?

Thanks

All the Maggie kits I've seen relocate the IAT. AS FOR SPACERS, yes I have my own but unless you are maxing the blower then I wouldn't bother.

My 14 Whipple 2.9 relocated to the lower manifold also. Not sure about any others.

IATis relocated to below blower. I'm running an RDS spacer but haven't cranked up the boost yet.

I don't feel the 1900 moves enough air to really warrant it, if your pushing a 2300 then ok.
