Whats the temp range of the gauge?
Is it -20C to 50C? If so I believe its an intake temp gauge. I have one and i'm buggered if I know what sensor it uses. I've tried different thermistors without success.

Yeah, I can't make out if it's an intake temp gauge, or an ambient air temp gauge.
If it's the former, then Subaru are deluded! Intake temps - on phase 1 cars' little slantly TMIC at least - can get into the frikkin' 70s!!!, let alone the 50s!

Isn't it an outside air temperature gauge? About as useful as a voltmeter

That's what I always assumed it to be, yeah. Esp. given the scale.
Bloody inaccurate though
(as you elude to).
