Drilling for pyrometer
I had a thought. When installing a pyrometer by drilling the exhaust manifold, just before drilling through the pipe start the engine to pressurize the hole. All the drill filings will fly outward. Make sure your air cleaner is on and watch the heat.

I drilled mine with the engine off, but used one of those extendable magnet pick-up tools to probe into the manifold and remove the chips. It worked great and I didn't have to worry about anything getting into the turbo.
