Or is another EGT gauge BEST?
I think you will have to install another gauge the length of the wires between the probe and the gauge are very precise if I'm not mistaken and putting a switch in between would probably change the signal giving a false reading at the gauge.

I'm going to be installing a probe soon as well and am planning on tapping the DS manifold but was wondering how people tap the up-pipe. Is there enough meat to thread the pipe or do you need to weld a nut to it?

You'd have to weld a bung to it... but to my knowledge, the manifold is where you want it anyways. Pretty sure the goal is to get as close to the actual cylinder temperatures as possible.

I have mine in the up-pipe and have installed a couple others in the up-pipe, my Autometers came with a bushing and a clamp type mount to do this .
