Intake Air Temp Gauge

[rockjeep73]

I would like to install a intake air temp gauge and I was wondering what range of gauge would I need? I found that Nordskog makes one but the range is from 0-200*, just wondering if 200 is high enough or if thats plenty, also what kinda numbers does anyone with a gauge see? Also. is the intake horn the best place to install the sensor? and does the engine heat transfered through the aluminum intake horn have any effect on actual air temp readings?

i just got an autometer dual probe on ebay that goes up to 350*. haven't put it in yet so i can't give you any readings. i know that if i run medium boost(30-40) for extended periods, my piping will be hot to the touch though. maybe fulmer will jump in here.

I have the Edge A2 and it displays intake temperature. The hottest readings are

when you drive it for a while, then stop for 10-15 minutes. If you look at the temperature before starting it will be in the 140-150 range. Once cranked I rarely see it above 100 degrees. Usually within 10 degrees of outside temp. I don't know if the attitude displays this or not.

The standard Attitude does display the intake temp. I think the hottest I saw with the HOT Juice/Attitude and EZ stacked was about 130. Like Buddy said most of the time was close to outside temp.
