You have to be careful when extending the wire that you dont add any resistance, so you are best off soldering and using wire that is slightly thicker than what it comes with.
Saying that...i doubt its accuracy is overly great anyway
Exactly what I thought. I never tested it before i added the extension.
Therefore I don't know if the extension has any influance on the reading.
It's a cheap device, I wouldn't expect it to be that accurate.
When i cold start the car, I get a reading of 26 degrees in a garaged area.
30-37 degrees when driving smoothly and car is heated up.
Half a hour's traffic it maxed out at 60.8 degrees.
With hard acceleration the reading dropped to 10 degrees.
This engine is N/A. I would like to know what temperature the turbo's are getting in.
I placed the sensor on the outside of the filter, in between the wedges of the metal, dead center.
I know it's supposed to be placed onto the throttle body, but I dont want to take the risk and break the engine if that little bastard would get sucked in.
