Thermocouple mounted in IC to TB hose + signal converter + SPA gauge.
Not the cheapest, but accurate and very fast response to changes. Can also be used for logging needs.

I use the STI V4 airtemperature sensor to log the chargetemp, it works perfect and through Datalogit it´s very fine to see what´s going on!

Thanks Butty and Austrian. I could forsake my SPA Oil Temp gauge and use a different sensor, but not sure if it'd work and whether it'd be cheaper than buying something else.

Currently looking like R&B Motorsport as the solution.

All the SPA would need is a thermocouple and a signal converter. SPA do them at a very high cost but I built my own and still have enough parts left over several more for about £60 if interested?
