Air/intake Temp Guage??
 
I thought i've read about it or heard about it from somone b4 but not sure.

*is there a way or a guage u can hook up to actually read the temp of the air going into the intake, that doesn't cost a arm and a leg?

Splice into the voltage wire that connects to the AFM and rig up a cheap multimeter.

Yeah, because it's really easy to convert an inverse logarithmic relationship (temp vs. voltage) in your head while driving... :rolleyes:

There are several ways of displaying air temps. You can buy one of those cheap IN/OUT temp displays like this:

Or a more dedicated display (I use this one):

These are cheap but both are battery powered and aren't backlit for night use.

For something better but more expensive:

Look around, there are other manufacturers of gauges like this.

If he's referring to air going into his engine, I could see it being useful for seeing if a cold-air setup is working.
