    2016 Camaro LGX v6 - temp and SCIAP sensors info needed

    I want to add a SCIAP sensor to my 2016 LGX Camaro v6 (E82 BCM). It's supercharged with Edelbrock PD blower. At one point I understood that I don't know what my temps in VCM scanner are.

    I have 4 temp channels:

    Ambient Air Temp (SAE)
    Intake Air Temp
    Intake Air Temp 2
    Manifold Air Temp

    The ambient air sensor speaks for itself, the Intake Air Tem should be the MAF embedded sensor (the one I taped into and moved to MAP sensor via harness) and it should display the manifold temp after the IC brick. But the Intake Air Temp 2 and Manifold temp - what are these? Does BCM calculate the MAnifold temp for NA automagically based on the IAT? Can I bring IAT back to MAF sensor and set a dedicated temp sensor channel for TMAP?

    The second part of the question - is there a way to add a channel for the SCIAP in E82? I want the BCM to use it in calculations

    I would really appreciate any proven and tested info on the subject)

    The ambient air temp is the actual ambient air temp that shows on your radio. The intake air temp is the one from your maf embedded sensor. The intake air temp 2 I don't know where is exactly located in your vehicle but is a different one. And the manifold air temp in boosted cars is embedded with the map sensor.
    The ones that your ecu uses for managing your timing are the iat and the mat. You can look for both if you want reference points.
