Is it possible to monitor IAT's with MJLJ?

Hey guys,
I'm pulling together a turbo project, and I'm a bit concerned about my air intake temperatures. Is there a way to monitor those temperatures and retard timing accordingly automatically with MJLJ? Without the ability to change the timing when temps start do their unwanted climb, I can only run a pretty poor spark table to remain safe.
Basically need to find out if the MJLJ configuration allows me to wire in an IAT sensor, be it from GM or just a sender for a gage, and then use timing retard/IAT subsection. It's under the Spark header in megatune, IAT/Clt related ignition. I would rather just let the computer take care of altering timing based on IAT it instead of having 4 different files I run depending on outside temps, etc - and it would be a nice failsafe for my motor if my Meth/Water injection pump fails of if I accidently let the tank run dry. If MJLJ can't do it, would it be possible to buy a MS computer and have it just managing ignition for now? I'm not sure what the compatibility is between MJLJ and MS, and how much re-wiring would be necessary to switch between the two for just the ignition system.
