I think he means to only run 1/2 the tap's length into the manifold(that's what I do). The typical 1/8" NPT tap has about 2" of cutting threads, so stop when you still have an inch or so of cutting thread showing. The tap is tapered, so stopping early like this will ensure the thermocouple is snug/tight. As you start to cut threads, back the tap out to clear it as needed.

Thanks guys. looking forward to getting home this weekend and getting the new insight installed.
Guys, isn't it necessary to have two mounted pre-turbo, one for each bank, mounted in each manifold?
So guys, just to clarify, the 6.0 doesn't come from the factory with anything monitoring EGT Temps and it's totally necessary to install an aftermarket sensor (or sensors) and guages?? Right
What is the cost of a kit, and where do you buy it guys?
