Hi Paul & All,

I just scrambled together a DOS-capable computer and got the TCU

connected. My 914 has had only 49 minutes at the factory...

I also checked the readings of the TCU, and I noticed that the airbox

temp reading was 10 degrees Celcius higher than the real temperature.

This was without the engine running, and completely cooled down (not

started for more than a week).

I guess this airbox-temperature thing is only used for lowering the

boost pressue if the airbox gets to the critical temp of about 70-80

degrees Celcius, so I assume this is nothing to worry about, especially

not because I have an intercooler and do noet expect such high airbox

temperatures.
