Default Measuring ACTs

Currently running standard intercooler, but will be fitting a Cossie cooler & custom rad when I finish getting the bits required to complete the job in one go.

The bloke I bought my system off said he'd be interested to know how it affected the ACTs as it was a system he designed to fit straight in without having to cut any panels on the S1.

So, basically I need to know what the ACTs are now and check them after the new cooler's fitted.

What's the simpliest/ best way of doing this ?? Is there a small digi gauge (or similar) that I can fit into the car without it looking like a crap bolt-on extra? Ideally I'd fit it into the cubbie-hole tray under the steering wheel as this is somewhere 'out of the way' but can still see it and obviously the dash area is a no-go on cutting, etc

Here's the system: https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...ht=intercooler

for permanant fitment MikeR 40 odd quid

for a temporary set up a decent multimeter can do it....
