    Sounds about right. Coolant temp will drop if max A/C is on. Our intake seems to be about 10-15 degrees above outside air temp, when moving. Could be wrong, but I don't think there is an oil pressure sensor on the car.

    Correct...no oil pressure with the scan gauge. Water and intake temps are what I see with mine.

    Thanks guys. I guess all is well, but I wish here was a oil pressure guage. I'm not comfortable with with just the light.

    Since there is a MAF, can it read air flow in order to determine if one type intake gives more air then another?

    One would think so. I wish I'd logged the MAF on our Clubman before the JCW went in:rolleyes5:

    Got any idea how to do it???? I know someone talked about reading boost on the scan guage. On a N/A engine wouldn't that just be air flow???

    It would just be air flow on a N/A engine. I don't really know much about the Scangauge. I was was just going to write down numbers as I saw them on the Garmin, gut never got around to it. I guess you could wrap something over a small amount of any filter, and see if the air flow drops as a test.

    Thanks Mark, but I did a search (clever idea, eh) and found the answer. I'll keep you posted on the results. Good luck at the dealer tomorrow and have a great trip to MITM/MTTS. I'll be looking forward to some intresting reports and don't forget the dog bickies. :Thumbsup:
