Ahh, I was referring to physical access, didn't consider compatibility.

Yes, but it is on the "cold side" of the engine, as I have heard it
described. :-)
Maybe cooler than the exhaust and turbo side, but it gets hot as hell
after driving around for a while.

Excellent!
My own car also seems to be driving better. I would think that the ECU
would let me know when the magnetic sensor started to fail, but maybe not.
It could also be in my head, the car was down for about 3 weeks and it
was going to seem fast no matter what after what I have been driving.
