Pyrometer install -

Ok, it is time in my powerstroke performance journey to install gauges.
I want this thread to be a helpful tool for all who are installing a pyrometer (EGT) gauge.
this topic has been beaten to death and often the threads are *******ized without a clear answer of the best overall install loaction.

Question: Where is the best location to install the probe?


thank you for all the info in advance.

drivers side just above the drive shaft is easily accessed and close enough the wires will reach easily for a pillar mounting.

When installing the probe you want the tip to be placed in the center of the pipe
