Ideally you want that sensor as close to the intake ports as you can get so that it gives the most accurate reading of the air entering the cylinders.


Yeah I understand your point Spliner.

I was just telling that a hot manifold probly warms the air inside of it.

And since alero's doesnt have a top front opening below the hood, the intake isnt cooled down by outside air.

That would also answer the fact that since winter started, it seems like my supercharger is boosting a lot more than before.
