EGT Probe Install

I know this has been beat to death, but I can't find any GOOD pics of where PRE TURBO this goes. Everything I read says install it pre turbo, but I'm a moron and never done one before, so pics help. I have also read about 2 different ways to drill. One with engine running to blow any chips OUT while drilling and the 2nd says put grease on the bit to catch chips and start small and work my way up to the proper size. The other guages are no problem, but this one that has a chanceof messing the turbo up I want to do right. Thanks.

I also want to say that this is the GREATEST website EVER for anyone that has a Ford truck, even if it's not a 7.3 .
