I'll try to answer the questions as best I can, and if need be I can do some testing to help fully answer them.

I'm not familiar with motec and the calibrations used. If it helps, the calibrations would be exactly the same as the stock FD iat sensor. I did list the resistance values at 20*c and 80*c earlier in the thread I don't know if that tells you anything or not but here they are.

Tested @68 *F (20c) = 2.27 Ohms
Tested @176*F (80c) = 0.34 Ohms

Given the information in those tests I don't think the temperature will accurately read past 200*F because the resistance will have reached 0 ohms. I think the probe can handle higher temperatures but just don't have the resolution needed to go that high.

The sensor is made by sagem for triumph motorcycles, it does uses a common bosch connector, but I'm not sure if bosch makes any identical sensors or not. I couldn't find any.

What are your pre intercooler temps? I know turbo's are capable of outlet temps over 300*F, but if yours are under 200* F it would probably work fine. Otherwise maybe a fast reacting EGT type probe would work, I'm not sure how accurate they are at temperatures that low is the only issue. Let me know if you have more questions I can help with.
