using ambient temp sensor for airbox intake temps
« on: 03 September 2012, 20:06 »
as the title really. AGU golf, none climatronic.

is this located near the horns?

iv heard reports that it also controls the A/C somehow?

i know it wont be as accurate as logging intake temps through VCDS, but its information none the less

Doesnt work.  I made one to fit a IC pipe and the temps were a mile out.  THe refresh rate on them is slow as hell aswell.

Why do you really want to log airbox temps (guessing same as outside?) before the air gets heated by the turbo??

just thought as it was free id give it a go! im getting keen on inlet temps and running round with my laptop plugged in with vcds isnt that convenient! il leave it be then.

i want to push the k03 as far as possible before going with a k03s. so im looking at intercoolers as i know from when the car was getting mapped, heat soak is the enemy.

im wanting to go with the 'wellycooler' but i havent seen a golf where the inlet/outlet fits behind the lower bumper grilles

Wont push over 200bhp no matter what you do mate  :evil:
I have only ever heard one go over but only by a few bhp its VERY rare.

Your doing things right though get every mod on the car before the K03s and once you have the k03s on and remapped youl love it!  :grin:
