Works now.

I think thats where I got mine from. All I can say is that since I had it installed the car hasnt been on the road very much. It seems to work fine, but I think I put them sensor in the wrong place as it was only ever reading a max of 20 'C.

Yeah, the ACT sensor for the ecu is in the charge carrier near the throttle body, so would probablly be good to get close to that? Or tap a hole into the back on the inlet and place it there?

Best of luck m8!
