fitted my induction kit about a month ago and i used the cold air feed which comes with the induction kit and also kept the cold air feed off the air box which i cut down a bit. Ive noticed that my temperature guage does not move and only moves up to normal temp when im going slow or sat at traffic light etc. my temp gauge is up and down all the time any1 else have this? induction kit is workin well jus wonderin if this could cause any problems

Your induction kit doesn't cool the engine, it just provides air in to the engine.

the temp gague in your dash measures the temp of your water coolent.

not really true...overcooling can be as bad (long term) as overheating
