Installing a Thp twin turbo kit, the air intake temp sensor before the mass air in stock location, do I need to put it on the intake side of the turbo?
Intake air temp sensor

That's one way to do it. The other way is if you are running blow through slot style MAF you can wire your IAT1 into the same sensor, then you can just delete your IAT2.
Correct. If you run the 05+ the IAT1 is included in the sensor
I'm helping him with this project and we are runnig a Lightning MAF. So it would be best to put it in the intake pipe?
Why are you going to run a Lightning MAF? its going to get pegged by any serious twin turbo setup. Tell him to invest in a PMAS HPX 05+
I would find a place AS CLOSE to the intake manifold as possible. Getting this in the RIGHT place is key into tuning and making the car run as smooth as possible.
If means/tools allow, I'd suggest tapping and threading a hole somewhere in the intake manifold itself to get the BEST reading of temps possible.
If you notice on an 03 cobra for example, the DOWNSTREAM IAT temp sensor is BELOW the intercooler/supercharger inside the intake....it measures the air AFTER its compressed, RIGHT BEFORE it enters the head/intake ports.
You'll have to cut/extend your wiring for this, but make for a more precise tune/running car.
