Fair point , i want trying to knock ur suggestion . If u uesed two probes the high and low ones i think the temp range is greater . But that could be more hassel . Anway just thought I would mention that one to ya

I've had a set of these for a few weeks, and they do a damn good job. They have a fast refresh rate (around 1s), and are very senstive

However, vibs, you cant use em pre intercooler!! Even u were the one tell me that temps at this point are well above 100degrees. I'm seeing 120odd at peak boost.

However, for after the Intercooler tho, yes, these are ideal. Or even just for ambient under bonnet temps, or induction temps etc.

For the purpost of pre-intercooler temps, I ordered a Jaycar temp sensor from australia for about £20 for the post turbo temp. It has a 20degree->150degree range, and uses a steel probe (which can be easily slid into the boost pipe, and sealed)

However, for £14, u cant go wrong.
