I don't know about the turbo cars, but on an NA the coolant actually comes from hoses that are connected to it, not from the manifold.

sorry to dig up a semi-old thread, but would this method work using the coolant bypass line off the back of the water pump?

Noramlly you shouldn't do this because it an prevent a good ground to the sensor, but since I am putting a wire directly on the sensor body it doesn't matter.
And finally, pics of my car with SNOW on it. I know most people could care less, but I have never seen snow in my life and it blows me away that we are getting this much, let alone in April.
HAHAHAHA!!! Sorry to comment on an old thread with no insight into it, but I was down in Kileen when it snowed like this! HAHA, Man that was nuts! I was in my accord doing donuts in the parking lot of silver wings!

Assuming that line has a constant coolant flow (I can't remember off the top of my head) then it should work fine.

And yeah, the snow was crazy. We had people making snow rabbits because it was the day before Easter.
