Default sensor on intake.

my charge piping doesnt have a hole in it for the sensor that goes in there. can i take hose from the intake mani and put it on the sensor or can i take it from my pre turbo? which is better?

you mean the iat sensor? no, it won't work putting it on a vacuum line :P just drill a hole in your charge piping and put some jb weld around the hole and stil the sensor in it, voila!

Id put it in the turbo inlet. You dont want it to read the high temps of the turbo

ya that will work good make sure its close to the intake mani so the ecu gets a true reading on the air temp going into the engine not at the turbo before the intercooler.

YOU WANT IT TO BE AS CLOSE TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AS POSSIBLE so it gets a true reading of your actual iat's, if you mount it pre turbo, it will be reading totally different temps than what is actually going in to the intake manifold. just drill a hole and jb weld it in

if your ems doesn't have IAT correction you can just let it dangle in the engine bay and it won't do much of anything so long as it's plugged in to the harness.
