WankelsRevenge is on a distinguished road
Yeah I already did the full throttle body mod done and finished, so now its on to emissions systems removal. One thing I was thinming of doing though is using one of the coolant ports that go to the throttle body and tap it for the probe to my new temp gauge. Do you know if its the one on the front or the rear or the engine that is the feed port and which is the return?

That's not a good idea...

You're sticking a temperature sensor into, basically, a dead-end.
Ideally, you want coolant to be flowing through the area where the sensor is inserted.
Also, as a rule, you try to pick the highest point in your cooling system for this position, since heat rises.
This is why the stock ECU water temp sensor is located right underneath the thermostat...
