the two of them together will cool more than one alone. the coolant temp you see in your dash is engine coolant. not air charge temps. you can get a gauge to monitor that if you'ld like. not worth the money though untill you start upgrading parts on the engine.

Yea, there are 2 different coolant loops. There is the engine coolant loop which is displayed off your dic and has NOTHING to do with option b, heat exchanger, iat2's etc. The i/c loop which is the heat exchanger, option b, etc has to deal with iat2's and has NOTHING to do with the engine coolant displayed on the dic.
If you want to monitor your iat2's *which is a very smart thing to do* then I recommend that you pick up an interceptor guage. The gauge can monitor a lot of other things also though so it is a great investment.

Its so simple its not even funny.
Where the hood latch is on the driver side, there is a OBDII port that looks like a computer hook up. I heard the older ones you need to wire a power source, the stock boost gauge is fine for this. The new ones just plug in.
Plug said gauge into there. Place in gauge pod. Watch gauge.

Here's the Dual, which I haven't looked into the differences in Single or Dual yet. I'm at work, and need to get off the computer in a minute anyways.

Nevermind, go into OTT's Gauge Kit's section and take a peak.
This one says it comes with a 4ft power cable, so I'm sure it's not powered by OBDII.
