Intake Temp Gauge Install diy needed
Can anyone help with an intake air temp gauge install. My only question is where would I install the hot air sensor and cold air sensor?
I am looking at adding the gauge listed below and any help would be appreciated with pics.

All BMW S63 engine engines have four tmap sensors that meaure pressure and temps so Why not grab a elm32 wireless ob2 adapter and use an app like torque pro then customize it to read the intake temps?
If you want separate temp gauges that don't read ob2 data and have their own temp sensors then it's going challenge. For the hot side you could grab the burger racing meth injection adapters that fit in the intercoolers crossover tube and drill and tap for the sensors. For the cold side after the intercoolers, everything is plastic and I would not trust it to drill/tap and hold the sensors. Your looking at removing the intercoolers and drilling a hole large enough to hold a lipped metal bung for the sensors from the inside and jb plastic welding in place. Or if you have the budget, this is a great time to upgrade the intercoolers to the aftermarket aluminum units that have ports already built in you can take advantage of.

So this was the main reason for iat gauge but based on ur response I requested a return on it as this is way more complicated then I thought as I mainly just wanted cold readings.
