do all the mk7 polos have the temp gauge or just teh gti, 'cos i dont think mines got it, same with the trip computer thing that tells you your mpg etc.?

i'm yet to see mine below 0 yet
wonder what the output temp of the forge FMIC would be @ 0 degrees

@ dink
it would also likely be 0 degrees aty the coolest
its not gonna go below ambient temperature
when mine was ran in the summer, at 23 degrees outside, the output from the front mount was the same, as it was hooked up second time it was 18 degrees, and the output was again as per the ambient outdoor temp
for it to get colder it would have to be a condensing unit like the air con unit is, not an air based cooler
an easy way to work out intake temps when forge front mounted like mine is look at the external temperature, it will be no hotter than this

well i know it wouldn't have been cooler 
i would of put the temp @ about 10 degrees but if it is lower perhaps thats why it doesn't run the same as when it was a bit warmer

how do you mean? mine loves the cold breathing, it absolutely flies

sometimes it seems to have a flat spot then it takes off like i put gunpowder in it instead of petrol.
it probably had this before just seems more noticeable now it's got alot colder
i've got the apr stage 1 map.

The APR stage 1 remap does have a loose boost around 2.5K - 3K revs then starts boosting again, not a very smooth boost curve! N75J valve can help smooth this out, much more aggresive boost valve! Assuming thats what ur talkin about??

I'm not sure that i'd wanna see what mpg I get though anyway!

i was at -5 the other morning

so jeff at -2 deg outside temp thats what you get into your engine?? which sensor measures intake temp??

white, im not saying thats gospel, but seemed to be the pattern when the readings were being taken by forge, im not too sure where they read temps from, but know it was both sides of the intercooler, its probably best to confirm with them
