Default where to get an IAT gauge??

Will use the Ultra lite II autometer gauges for boost, FP and exhaust gas...gonna use meth injection and BS3, which doesn't account for IAT. I want to be SURE the meth system is properly working. I don't trust a light on/in the dash when the meth pump kicks in. The meth could be going somewhere else, like on the ground. I'd like an IAT gauge that would kinda match the autometer style. Any help??

BS3 logs and uses IAT in its fueling calcs, just make sure the IAT sensor is downstream of the meth injection. I never seen an aftermarket IAT guage.

you can also easily verify meth spray by looking at your a/f ratio, and if you are spraying enough the car will stumble and stall if you 'purge' it at idle

The aeroforce interceptor measures and displays all the sensors your computer reads- including IAT.

Autometer USED to make a IAT gauge that read from two different IAT sensors. You could toggle between which is displayed on the gauge and it would still log both sensors for playback.

Ive only ever seen them at swap meets and vendor booths at the track. Always in old weathered packaging. Guess Im too new to the game to have been around when you could buy them brand new from Autometer dealers.

But like everyone else said, BS3 does watch IAT, and therefore 'should' be able to log it as well.

My Accel DFI gen7 does, and its a dinosaur compared to the BS3 unit.

windwalker.. just put in a switch to manually run the pump, you will feel the car stumble when it sprays.. that will get you out of any sort of verification gauge in the car. this is what i do.

i have an 'on' light, a 'low' light and a purge button, and i press the button beginning of every time i want to beat on it to make sure meth is ready to go

That's right. Guess I had a brain f@rt there. I plan on doing the manual switch too. I know a turbo Buick with this setup and he likes it. Tnx for all the replies
