I picked up a turbo'd gt the guy couldn't get running. After fixing Tom's of half assed ****, I have it running solid on E85 @10psi.
My question is, I only see the one IAT sensor that would have gone in the stock air box. I have it currently plugged into a hose that comes from the lower right of the TB, I know it's not getting air flowing past it, but at least It gets manifold air temp. Does the MAIT sensor from the MR2 have the same values so that I can thread it into the charge piping to properly get it in the airflow, or is there a way to get the factory sensor in the airflow and secure it from blowing out? |

your thinking is correct, but wrong. IAT is Intake Air Temp. its intended to monitor the intake temps. Now with that being said, when I has my 5S turboed, I did what I posted before. I used a GM sensor and tapped the charge pipe before the throttle body and put it there. On my supra and All-Trac, I actually have the sensor right after the TB in the manifold. It works just fine. Temp corrections are very minimal, Its really MAP sensor that does most of the tuning.
