IAT higher than ambient temp, it’s around 57 degrees outside when picture taken. also got boost pressure sensor replaced a few days ago due to it being faulty. Just wondering if it’s something abnormal.
looks like your car was already warming up at that when you took the pick based on the temp gauge? Yes, normal. You IAT is taken from within the engine compartment And your MAF sensor which warms up to match the temp of the engine bay.
I believe IAT temp is supposed to be 10° above or below ambient when you first start the engine and like mentioned,sensor temp can increase quite a bit from the heat coming off the engine.
