Default 4 bar MAP for intake temps

I can't seem to get a straight answer on this. I'd like to eliminate the stock Stillen filter setup on the sc and just have a filter on the head unit. I know this will require going to a 4 bar MAP with a speed density tune on ecutek to eliminate the MAFs and I've noticed that the 4 bar sensors read temperature too. Can ecutek be configured to use this as my AIT sensor to get a more accurate read on intake temps? I hate the Stillen a2w design but don't have 7k to cough up just to make the system more reliable on the occasional track day with no intentions to make much more power than I already am. If the MAP sensor could get a read on the post a2w cooler temps it would go a long way to making the system more reliable. I'm adding a frozenboost but would feel a lot better about the car getting accurate intake temps rather than relying on a guess from the ECU.

Let me give a word of advice. Less is better when doing any forms of racing. That stillen set up is garbage, the entire is a shi t box. Topgunz kit, someone will part out soon or have someone you can trust buy the kit here and ship it to you. Bigger intercooler, preferably a tube n fin design, move the oil
Cooler off to fender, possible get rid of the radiator shroud and upgrade the to brushless fans

The Stillen kit isn't great I agree but I wasn't about to tell the seller of the car to remove it. I'm putting together an A2A kit for the car regardless. No sense in me spending the money for a kit when I can build it myself for almost a third of the price. Moving the cooler and such is already planned on so won't be an issue.
