Intake air temp
I am thinkin i would like to monior this , what kind of temp range should i be looking at for this gauge? i found one that starts at 130 deg F , i think that might be too warm as a starting point?

If you're only interested in the numbers when the turbo is spooled, starting at 130 should work, but intake manifold temps will likely be close to ambient temps when just cruising around town.

I think when I had my Juice/Attitude the intake temp would run 110-130 normal driving. I can't really remember how high they got on WOT, because I was not normally monitoring that display.

My 12 valve intake temp gauge, sender in the air horn reads 0-300F. I have never seen it go over 160F. Almost 100% of the time it is 20F above the outside temp. This includes when it's below zero.
