I still haven't found a good (ie, cheap) solution for taking 4-5 temperature readings at the same time. I have found a dual-channel t/c meter that I will be ordering this week or next, but at $9 I'm afraid that it will not be very be accurate. If it does turn out to be reasonably accurate, I'll order more.
For anyone with silicone post maf tubes, you could try intalling a port like this:

I would not recommend trying to sense temperature from a vacuum line as it will not have consistent airflow through it.

I doubt that wrapping stock airboxes with insulation will do a whole lot as the plastic is already not a very good heat conductor. I would think wrapping would have better results on an aftermarket intake w/ aluminum piping. It's still nice to see people trying to experiment and get some actual measurements though, so I won't try to stop you
