put it just before the throttle body as this is where you want to know the air temps. it should come with a little take off part to insert it into

Iv mailed the seller as I'm interested in what fitting equipment it comes with.
I can't see any in the kit hence why I posted the question here.

The prosport gauge kits have a threaded sender. Expensive, but the pre/post intercooler electric gauge looks good.

this one

iv seen it on uk ebay for £80ish

i got a response from the seller of the first gauge. it has no fitting parts.  you have to put it between the TB and silicone coupler, under the jubilee clip.  :cry:
