Dual air temp sensors?

Post by WillExoIX »

I would like to run pre-turbine and post turbine air temp sensors, is this possible? I would assume so using a spare input? I already have one post turbine, but I would like to install one before the turbo to get both temps simultaneously, but only use the post turbine sensor as a true input for the MS.

I will soon be installing a 7inch touchscreen and a bluetooth keyboard so I can put the laptop under the seat, and utilize a few gauges to be displayed on the touchscreen, maybe 4 total.

I know that some gauges in the MS, like egotemp and etc can be substituted and the gauge names can be changed in the settings file, which input wire would I use, and I would jumper that input to the processor using one of the open jumpers correct?

Only reason I am posting is because the search didn't pop anything up. I already have the bung welded to the vacuum side of the intake with a plug in it, just need to grab a sensor from the JY.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks James, that's just what I was looking for. Just an FYI, the link to EGOcorrection on that page is broken.
