I have been wondering about my airbox temp for some time and the possibility of detonation.  My mechanic in Colombia said not to worry about it so I tried to live in denial ...without avail.  Pilot paranoia wormed its way in.  

But I quailed at the thought of taking my instrument panel apart and wiring a probe into my dynon.

So i bought a chinese rpm and CHT instrument from amazon and clamped the CHT ring to the aluminium up tube from turbo to airbox.
The interwebs tells me that the max Airbox Temp is 88C
T/O power 37" took the temps to 65C
Cruise 29"-33" @3500' up to 5000' was steady at 56/57C.

Intuitively this is consistent with the fact that I have numerous standard zip ties holding electric and control cables to the airbox and none of them have melted.
