Pyro sensor relocatiom

The thermocouple probe for my pyro is in the downpipe. I'd like to relocate it to the drivers side manifold? Any issues with this? I know not to cut the lead wire. There are not special probes meant for post turbo are there? Also how the hell did you all get a drill and bit up in there to drill the manifold. Mine is an Isspro gauge and I think the thread for the probe is 1/4 npt. Needs a big hole to tap and it's a long bit.

I had my manifold off when I "tapped it" . I was fixing an exhaust leak and doing my up pipes. But a drill will fit in there just fine. Remember to wear safety glasses, collar shirt, long sleves.

It's pretty easy to get to, really. Drilled mine from underneath the truck. This is 1/8" npt. I believe that is the most common size.
