Question Pyro probe install...

I'm ready to drill and tap for my pyro probe. The probe that came with the gauge is a screw in type, no clamp. My question is, would I need to install with some kind of lock washer, or lock tight.. etc. Please advise.

Thanks,
Rob

Are you going pre turbo or post turbo? I installed mine pre turbo and used a little ultra high temp sealant and I have no problems.

If you are going to drill and tap then you want the screw in type, no sealant should be required (unless it leaks )If you're wanting to clamp it in the up pipe there should be a little set screw on the probe that allows the threaded portion to be removed.
