The meter I'm using is logging temperature (and a few other parameters) in addition to air flow. There's some interesting data there, but since it's downstream of the intercooler it won't show the temperature of the inlet air... it's a complex combination of air heated by the intercooler and convected/radiant heat from the engine. I might yet try to extract some information from this data as well.
I'm planning on taking airflow/temperature data from the side scoops as well. This scope of the project is beginning to grow...
