2 EGT probes?
Anyone running 2 EGT probes in their truck?
If so, please post the locations that you've chosen.
The reason I ask is that I have fitted one into the end of the exhaust manifold to run a gauge, and am thinking of fitting a second probe post turbo for an Edge CS scan-gauge.
Is it worth the trouble/$130 for the 2nd probe?
Any thoughts welcome.

While going post-turbo would answer the question of "how much does it cool down", that information serves no purpose.
Now... get a malfunctioning injector, a bad UVCH, or a clogged fuel nozzle on one side - having a pyro on each manifold will tell you instantly there is a problem and where it is.

So, drilling the RHS exhaust manifold for a EGT probe.
Does it matter where abouts the EGT probe hole is located?
The reason I ask is that I've had a roll around under my truck & reckon I can just fit my power drill between the frame and starter motor, so the tapped hole I can make on the RHS will be a little further away from the manifold end than where I was able to tap in the hole on the LH exhaust manifold.

Other than the Edge monitor what do folks use for gauges? Two separate gauges seems awkward. Found a Falcon ER-002 which looks similar to a $$ Westach unit, but are there other options?
Edit: D'oh! Pops sprang too quick for me!

I know this is an older thread, but as it's the same question, I was wondering what people thought about using the two bosses located on the exhaust collector behind the turbo, instead of down on the manifolds. I have it out for other work, and while she's out it's really easy to drill holes on the drill press.

But my exhaust manifolds aren't hanging by a wire waiting for paint to dry. I'm running all stock components with respect to power, any upgrades I've done are for reliability. I don't expect to push the engine beyond any normal loads, it's pleasure use only, so the probes would be informative in nature and not to try and get close to any power limitations. Not even running a tuner here.
Mostly I'm wondering if people have had any issues with this location, like the baby's butt cracking, or whether probes here are to close together, so the readings are not distinct.

With respect and a friendly tone: The manifold outlets are only slightly less convenient to install a probe on - it's not like you have a clearance problem on a stock-height truck. If you go online for technical support in the future, one of the questions will likely be "What are your EGTs?" You'll tell them your probes are not on the manifold and the forum will shrug - because we won't have a frame of reference. I would (and have) put them where they are the most accurate and everybody has a frame of reference for your support.
