hey guys i was bord so i thought this would be a cool cheap mod.
cost me about $20, and i bought the thermo from Jaycar
i have installed a digital thermo to let me know how hot the
air is goin in my intake.
this is what it looked like in the box

firstly u have to find a place to put it in the cabin

and another

next thing u have to do is run the wire that tells the temperature
outside though the fire wall and into the intake.

i ran my wire into the cluster so there wasn't wire haggin out
everywhere this was probally the hardest part taking out the cluster.
i forgot to take pics while i was doin this and its a pain to take
apart again so ill just walk though what to do on the delsols
firstly undo these 2 screws

for the two button things on the top of either side of the cluster u
just simply pull them out there is not screws for these then unplug them

once u pull these button things out the top piece can be pulled out. there
were 2 clamp things holdin it in place at either end.
i've circled where the clamp things should be in red, the
three blue dots are where screws should be that are holding the cluster in place

theres about 3 meters of wiring that u dont need so i simply tied it up
next to the airbox using a cable tie.

this is the thinge that tells temperatures on the outside

this is where i placed mine in the airbox

some time, i made myself a custom cold air intake
