Re: EGT guage probe mounting
Ken, Isn't there really only one mounting place where the Endoscopic Gas Tester probe becomes effective?? :rotf:
...sorry, couldn't resist

Re: EGT guage probe mounting
Im thinking right behind the O2 sensor would be the easiest spot

Seriously, what about in the crossover pipe? I wouldn't think the reading after the turbo would be as accurate due to the expansion of the exhaust gasses through the turbine.... just a thought.

Re: EGT guage probe mounting
I have a spare down pipe to drill weld then ceramic coat id have to pull the cross over to mount it there

Re: EGT guage probe mounting
The most accurate reading would be in the turbo exhaust housing. The easiest is in the downpipe but as close to the turbo as possible. Temps in the downpipe respond just a little slower and are lagging by about 100 degrees. At that point you are splitting hairs on the readings. The only thing if you put it in the exhaust housing there is a slim chance of failure if you don't use a quality probe and/or over heat it

...the crossover is easy to pull... just drop the CAC down to access... could ceramic coat it at the same time!

Drill and tap a hole in the Passenger side manifold. Just before the turbo flange.

I put mine right behind the O2 sensor. Works good.
