You might consider posting this in the 7.3 PSD forum. Some of those guys might have pics for you. The only place to get an accurate reading is pre-turbo. The purpose of the pyro is to protect the engine, not the turbo so an accurate reading is necessary. There is no exact difference in degrees, so post-turbo (in the downpipe for example) will only help you guess. Most people mount it on the underside of the exhaust manifold.
