EGT probe to measure inlet air temp?
« on: February 07, 2009, 07:04:08 pm »
As titled, would this work? what's the range of the 6mm EGT probe? I'm wanting to do this as I'm not going to bother removing the manifold to tap it untill i get a new turbo, so was wondering if i could use the sensor to measure inlet temps instead of it sitting gathering dust?

It´s going to be slower then a normal MAT sensor
