Default Can you mount A CDT sensor on a Magnacharger Radix?

I was wondering if anyone has mounted a compressor discharge temp sensor on the radix? or is there a pre-determined location where one would be tapped?

There's no need the Intake Air Tempeture sensor is mounted in the intake manifold after the supercharger and intercooler.

It's behind the supercharger in the intake manifold,if you pay attention to some the guys posting performance logs you'll see that they can monator intake air temps with EFILive.

The IAT sensor is located on the front of the manifold. Remeber the two wires I was talking about that are located at your MAF sensor? Those wires get extended to the manifold so you can get a true IAT reading. I am not 100% sure, but I think those readings are before the intercooler not after. I will verify that tomorrow.

OK, so if it was before the intercooler that would be IAT before the rotors, I'm also interested in a sensor that would measure CDT(compressor discharge temp), I'm guessing there is a spot in the casting for one to be mounted.....help....

this will be after the blower, but before the intercooler. Go out and look at your blower, under the nose drive there is a sensor with a female plug on it...that is the IAT sensor.
