I'm sure the answer will come ask your mapper

The car doesn't need to be on any different FPR to standard.
I'd suggest registering in the Linkecu forum, I have and asked a few questions and the mods/staff come back with answers pretty quick.

The 'Temp' inputs on the ecu have ecu internal resistors so 2 pin temperature sensors with variable resistance are ideal.

Pressure sensors if you want any, they recommend 3 pin 0-5v, i assume the 0.5-4.5v are also suitable, as the scaling will be setup/calibrated in the ecu on setup.

I've had a long discussion with James as well as the guy who is doing my mapping and used the Linkecu forum.

Did the supplier not sell you what they recommend. I would have sold or recommend what to buy if it had been me.
Aftermarket ecus can configure to most sensors but ask your mapper what sensors he runs with his stuff as that means no real set up time needed to alter his base maps.

I bought Bosch motorsport temp sensors from Swindonpowertrain.com, also probably get Knock and LSU4.9 O2 sensor from them as well.

Bosch Temp sensor NTC M12 approx £12 (oil/water)
Bosch Temp sensor NTC M12-L approx £16 (air), this is actually more suited to NA cars.

Rang a couple of other places that were more expensive, retroturbo.com have cheaper on web, but rang me to cancel my order telling me they could no longer get them for anywhere near the price advertised
