EGT Sensor placement
I was looking at the Banks Down pipe I bought, and it has a bung welded to it. can I use that for an EGT sensor or should I drill and tap a hole in the exhaust manifold? If I have to drill, where is the best location?
I hope I can post some pictures of the Big Pink Beast on this site fairly soon, I know its nice to link a truck to a poster. Not normally one who names their vehicle, but my Much-Better-Half likes to bug me about my pink truck.

Seems like a pretty good place to me; before the turbo, and flowing *all* the cyls into it.

Edit: with that being said what do you think the temp difference is between pre turbo and at the manifold?

Its the downpipe by Banks from Summit. 94 factory turbo. The manifolds are off, so drooling and tapping is no trouble. That's why I'm asking now

Post turbo isnt less accurate, its just different. Every OTR truck i can remember working on has the probe in the DP, as do tractors. That being said, my 088 kit has the probe in the up-pipe because thats where the bung was.

I'm looking to install an EGT gauge now, I am putting injectors in now, I would have rather had it prior to install but so it goes. I am installing a new IP in a month and a turbo probably in 2, I think it makes sense to install it in the up pipe during the turbo install but I want to watch how my EGTs change over time so how does installing it in the y pipe sound until I install it in the up pipe?
Also the up pipe is the pipe that connects the manifolds together and routes to the turbo correct?
Thanks

Most will say to install it in the exhaust manifold. I have it this way. put it right before the elbow in the manifold at the back of the engine.
The pistons will melt first, being aluminum. That's why you want to measure the heat closest to the pistons, as much as possible.
