Air intake temp

[Moogun]

Interested to know what temp for intake is being seen on Scangauge. Mine is reading 30 degrees even with air temp of zero outside?

Air intake temp on the scangauge is usually taken at the throttle body, so after the intake air has been through the turbo, compressed, and then forced through the intercooler. Ambient air-temp is taken at the MAF sensor from memory.

Really depends on driving conditions, under constant light throttle on flat ground mine will sit approx 16 degrees above ambient temp, if giving more right foot or going up hills it will jump up a little, do a search as the topic has been covered a few times
