EGT probe location

So last night i was doing so reading and dug up some old (2004) threads about pre and post turbo mounting locations for the egt probe.

The biggest reason put forward from the post side was what if the probe breaks off and goes through the turbo??

I did a bit of searching and coulnd not come up with any first hand accounts of this happening.

My truck is stock and will stay that way until it is off warrenty so I'm not too worried about melting a turbo BUT I figure if I have paid the money to put a probe in my truck it should be in the most acurate spot.

So I guess my question is this. Anyone have one of these things break and go through your turbo??

And is the risk of this happening great enough to give up an acurate reading pre-turbo.


Thanks
