Properly Install Your Link ECU Intake Air Temperature Sensor

Adding an intake air temperature sensor to custom intercooler piping or an intake manifold? The Link ECU Mounting Boss Steel (IAT1-8MS) provides a clean, professional mounting point for compatible Link ECU temperature sensors.

Designed to be welded directly into a suitable steel intake pipe or manifold, this threaded mounting boss eliminates improvised sensor mounting and gives you a secure location for accurate temperature measurement.

Designed for Link ECU IAT Sensor Installations

Accurate intake air temperature data is critical on a properly calibrated standalone ECU.

Your Link ECU can use IAT data for:

• Fuel compensation
• Ignition timing compensation
• Charge-temperature monitoring
• Boosted engine protection
• High-IAT ignition retard strategies
• Datalogging
• Engine diagnostics
• Temperature-based safety strategies

The sensor needs to be securely mounted in the airflow to provide useful information. The IAT1-8MS steel mounting boss gives you the threaded mounting point needed to do it properly.

Ideal for Custom Turbo & Standalone ECU Builds

This mounting boss is particularly useful when fabricating:

• Custom intercooler piping
• Charge pipes
• Intake manifolds
• Turbo systems
• Supercharger systems
• Custom intake systems
• Engine-swap piping
• Standalone ECU installations

Steel Construction

The IAT1-8MS is manufactured from steel, making it suitable for welding into compatible steel components.

Once welded into position, the internal threads provide a secure mounting location for the compatible sensor.

Key Features

• Genuine Link ECU accessory
• Steel construction
• Threaded sensor mounting boss
• Designed for compatible Link ECU temperature sensor installations
• Weld-in design
• Ideal for custom intake and charge piping
• Compact size
• Professional alternative to improvised sensor mounting
• Excellent for turbocharged and supercharged applications
• Suitable for street and motorsport builds

Perfect for Fabricators & Custom Harness Builds

When you're fabricating an intake system from scratch, planning sensor locations during fabrication makes the finished installation cleaner and easier to service.

Weld the boss into the appropriate location, finish your fabrication, and install your compatible Link ECU sensor directly into the threaded opening.

Installation Note

The IAT1-8MS is a steel weld-on mounting boss. Confirm that the material being welded, sensor thread, sensor depth, and mounting location are appropriate for your application before installation.

For intake-air-temperature measurement, sensor placement should also be chosen carefully so the ECU receives temperature data that accurately represents the air entering the engine.
