Tracy uses manifold pressure and RPM as well as manifold air temp I think.
No throttle position sensor. Whether it uses it or not it would be a
good idea
to use manifold air temp as an input. This would anticipate the conditions
that cause
detonation in a turbo engine and automatically richen the mixture and/or
retard
the ignition to prevent detonation.

Tracy's unit uses manifold pressure, RPM and air temp for injector timing
calculations on processor "A" of his unit. Processor "B" uses only Manifold
Pressure and RPM and leaves the temperature sensor out of its circuit to
elminate it as a potential failure component. So you normally want to fly
with the "A" processor active.
